 Hoi tron,
 
 I'm not sure at which address I should reply to so this ends up in gnats
 (gnats-bugs@netbsd.org ?) and gets appended to the PR, sending to you as
 a start :)

 Hello,
 
 I have seen the same (some more info including xev responses
 to broken keys at:
 http://mail-index.netbsd.org/current-users/2005/07/07/0002.html
 Resolved due:
 http://mail-index.netbsd.org/current-users/2005/07/09/0007.html
 in:
 http://mail-index.netbsd.org/current-users/2005/07/09/0011.html
 )
 >From the last of these emails, here is what X -configure gives you (kbd driver):
 
 Section "InputDevice"
 	Identifier  "Keyboard0"
 	Driver      "kbd"
 	Option	    "Protocol" "wskbd"
 	Option	    "Device" "/dev/wskbd"
 EndSection
 
 And here is the working entry:
 
 Section "InputDevice"
     Identifier  "Keyboard0"
     Driver  "keyboard"
     Option "XkbRules"   "xfree86"
     Option "XkbLayout"  "de"
     Option "XkbVariant" "nodeadkeys"
 EndSection
 
 
 This is on a NetBSD-current (NetBSD 3.99.7 (GENERIC.MP) #0: Thu Jul  7 04:39:09 CEST 2005)
 with xsrc from the same date.
 
 Hope that helps,
 
 -Martin
