Nice work Fabio!

As I said in the original report I already use the CVS version. I simply 
checked it out from CVS on 2006-04-18 and built a custom package using the 
debian directory in the Dapper xserver-xorg-input-evdev source package. So 
even though I am not using your package I can at least tell you that the 
driver works fine together with the X-server in dapper for me. I will test 
your package ASAP, but I am very busy this week and probably won't have time 
until the weekend.

I run a multi user setup with two X-servers. Both keyboards use PS2 (The 
kernel fully supports plugging a second keyboard into the "mouse port") and 
both mice use USB. I specify the devices using Option "Name". Relevant parts 
of my xorg.conf is at the end of this mail.

This bug report is perhaps not the best place for discussing this, but make 
sure you have 'Option "PciOsConfig" "1"' in the ServerFlags section 
and 'Option "SingleCard" "true"' in each of your ServerLayout sections, that 
solved many stability issues with my setup.

I had the same problem with special keys until I realized that with the CVS 
driver you need to specify XkbModel as "evdev" (see my xorg.conf below for 
details).

Using this everything works except the "less greater bar"-key on my Swedish 
pc105 keyboard. For that a line with "<LSGT> = 94;" is needed 
in /etc/X11/xkb/keycodes. That patch is submitted and accepted in upstream 
CVS. If the CVS version of evdev makes it into Dapper as I hope it does, then 
this patch should also be applied. I will submit a bug against 
xkeyboard-config regarding this.
