Huh --- I did look at the defconfig file, but it never occurred to me to
look at that bit (after all, the mailboard is most decidedly *not* a PC
AT keyboard)...

It might be useful to stick in a couple of sentences in the
CONFIG_SERIO_AMS_DELTA help text saying that you also need AT keyboard
support, to avoid this kind of confusion later.

Anyway, I'm looking forward to trying it --- the 6x11 console font is
startlingly clear and easy to read on that little screen, and I suspect
that with the keyboard it'll make a rather nice network terminal.
