Unfortunately, this leaves the keyboard mapping in a mess (for users of UK
keyboards at least). I see that xsrc/xc/config/cf/site.def contains:

#if defined(NetBSDArchitecture) && defined(arm32Architecture) /*
 * This causes a problem with the X server, so I'm disabling it for now. -JJK
 */
#define BuildXKB              NO
#endif

Is this still the case and if so, is it being looked into? I've certainly not
noticed any _extra_ problems with it re-enabled. 

I have a problem with both Mark's XF86_S3V and any homebrew ones.  If I run
xdm at boot-up, the keyboard doesn't work at all. I can't change virtual
consoles and can't type anything in. If I telnet in and kill the X process so
that a fresh one is started, it works fine from that point on.
