I have no keyboard problems on my Milan. I do suffer from the occasional
stuck Alt or Control, but only with my homemade Atari->PS/2-adapter so I
won't blame MiNT ;-) On the Milan, TOS-routines are used for the actual
interaction with the hardware. To me, this suggests that the problem
most likely is related to the IKBD-handler in the kernel.
