Yes, that fixed it.  I applied everything from rev. 1.60-1.22 and it works
now with the radeon driver (not with radeonhd though).

If you want to get this pulled up into the netbsd-5 release branch we'd
have to come up with a solution for the xorg.conf configuration though,
to not break people's working setups.

(another minor change I had to make is that "colemak" is not a proper
keyboard layout anymore with xkeyboard-config but an xkbvariant of the
"us" layout.)
