Well, most of the time it works ( here at least... )
So, as a short term workaround this may be useful.
I'm not even sure if that's a bug in the keyboard mux or the Xserver -  
the keyboard device should fall back to the mux when it's closed,  
shouldn't it?
Either way, we should really fix the keyboard drivers to work with the  
mux in event mode, either by having them all ( or at least the  
relevant ones - ADB, Sun and maybe PS/2 ) use a unified set of  
scancodes or by adding the keyboard type to struct wsevent so mixed  
setups actually have a chance to work.
ADB is probably the most urgent one since Apple used ADB keyboards in  
*Books pretty much to the last minute in some models before switching  
to x86, and USB number pads are quite common. Shouldn't be too  
difficult - just add another keymap that translates ADB scancodes to  
their USB equivalent and pretend it's a USB keyboard. I'll probably do  
that in the next few hours.

have fun
