 Of course, I just thought that you could be more efficient than me in
 contacting the people from Xorg, because they probably trust you better
 than me.
 And also more efficient in fixing this in pkgsrc quickly.
 And also this could benefit other pkgsrc users.
 
 I am a pkgsrc user and as such, I am facing right now the problem with
 pkgsrc. But I can understand that you are not interrested in such trivial
 fixes.

 My patch is only a quick workaround for bsd. I don't know the right
 solution, probably the (old?) function should be removed from xorg
 itself.
 
 But it's only a matter of function name, not code. The name is
 conflicting with xorg one's, which is dandling there probably since
 pre-modularization. That's true for hurd, lnx, sco and sun also.
 Probably no-one tried to change these functions in the kbd modular driver
 since xorg modularization?
