That's sad. I didn't reply because I didn't want to send an other 
useless "uhh, cool man" message. On the other side all my machines 
run headless. Only my SGIs are alowed to drive a monitor. ;-)

Make it complete and usable. 
Indent it according to /usr/share/misc/style.
Make sure the code is not tainted by anything that doesn't comply to the
BSD Licence.
Port it to -current. (Only bug fixes and really impotant driver updates
are pulled up into the 1.6-release branch.)
Find a developer that reviews the code and commits it. (No, I will not 
do this part due to ENOCLUE in the wscons department and ENOTIME because
of my work for port-hp700 and port-ofppc.)

You have no working keyboard yet? Maybe you can get some ideas from 
port-pmax. The DECstation 3100 (codename PMAX) has a very similar 
keyboard / mouse interface. (Maybe the DEC 3000 Alphas too.)
