Ops, I didn't saw that keycodes/macintosh is also changed.. :-)

But this also means that the current console-setup is incompatible
with the new xkeyboard-config.  There seams to be no relation between
the X keycodes and the keycodes of the kernel.  Because of that
ckbcomp has to use hardwired translation tables and to guess the
architecture from the keyboard model.  Up to now keycodes/macintosh
implied the old macintosh keycodes but now this depends on the model..

I will be ready with the upload today or within the next few days.
