   Yeap thats the problem, looking at Franz's patch it seems that if
keyboard_sends_linux_keycodes doesn't exist, the server assumes AT keycodes.
I am not sure how to handle APUS as well, even the pmac test through xkb
will only work if xkb is enabled (not always the case), i think it should
be better to handle all the cases through the config file although it will
make it harder for the users :(
