Amend my previous reply: Running showkey (need root perms) on my kb
gives 96 for the far right enter key and 28 for the normal enter key.
This is on an IBM model M keyboard, which works fine with any American
computer. I don't know what the other layout was for.
Sorry for the misinformation earlier.
