In this case, auto repeat for modifier keys (SHIFT/CTRL/ALT)
still have some problem.  These keys work as modifiers properly
but pressing them still generates autorepeat (per xev(1)).
BackSpace key which has the same keycode as Shift_L on AT and
"/" key (same code as Shift_R on AT) don't get autorepeat.

It looks Xorg sources (under xf86PostKeyboardEvent()?)
still assume pseudo AT keycode used in old XFree86,
but I'm not sure how autorepeat is handled in xkb.
Is there any clue? Can't we use native keycodes other than AT yet?


BTW, I notice that Dreamcast Maple keyboard has the same keycode map
as USB one, and using existing wsUsb map in bsd_KbdMap.c just works.
Oh well.  (though other ports still require own maps..)
