Yes... I found that and it works very nicely. A much better server!
Well done.

However, there does seem to be a bug of some sort in the keyboard
handling code. Some of the keys produce the wrong characters when you
press them. The set up seems to be geared towards a US keyboard
(almost). The following is wrong:

# (hash) produces \ (backslash)
~ (tidle) produces | (vertical bar)
| (vertical bar) produces > (more than)
\ (backslash) produces < (less than)
=AC (funny line) produces ~ (tilde)
=A3 (pound sterling) produces # (hash)
" (double quote) produces @ (at)
@ (at) produces " (double quote)

And the UK pound sign can't be reproduced at all!

Is there a command to fix this? The setkbd program which I just compiled
seems to only be used for setting autorepeat rates. IMHO this bug
makes X difficult to use as you have to keep remembering to press
\ instead of > and so on.

My set up for reproducing this bug was a fresh 1.4 installation with
Xvidc-1 as my X server, using twm. And xterm.
