Hmm, okay. Do you have any advice where should I be diffing,
regarding the wskbd issue?

I looked at bsd_init, bsd_io and bsd_kbd in
xsrc/xfree/xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/os-support/bsd
directory and compared them to what Xorg 7.1 has, and
couldn't see any differences between them (I didn't
actually diff them, though).

Tried both wskbd and wskbd0 and they both fail
the same way: EBUSY (doesn't the mux claim wskbd0).

Am I even right in the assumption that X server needs to
somehow make the console release the wskbd before it
opens it? If not, how is X and console supposed to share it?
