There is no problem with F1-F12 function keys, but for the keypad
Ctrl+Alt+KP_Divide and Ctrl+Alt+KP_Multiply are assigned to
F25 and F26 respectively, whereas loading srvr_ctrl redefines
them to XF86_Ungrab and XF86_ClearGrab.
Can we assume that those definitions were seldom used and override
them with standard XFree86 ones?
