Never mind...

An xorg trick on the pg-don/pg-up, :-(

I had the flag AllowEmptyInput set to false, allowing loading kbd.
For some reason kbd was mangling around with the key mappings, and
that had the X keyboard broken...  I didn't have the flag set on
x86_64, thus the mismatch...

I still can't copy/paste under X when term is connected through ssh to
another machine, and using vim in the remote one...  But that's not as
bad, :-)

Perhaps some ssh config trick, :-)

Thanks,
