</div>Your program has always been broken then - X keycodes are different<br>
on different platforms and servers, and as kbd/evdev show, sometimes<br>
even different drivers on the same server/platform. It has been<br>
well documented for 20+ years that the only valid meaning of an X keycode<br>
is to lookup a keysym in the current table and that applications should all<br>
use keysyms, not keycodes.<br>

</div>evdev does not suceed or replace XKB - they're two different levels of<br>
the stack. evdev replaces xf86-input-kbd on Linux systems - both of<br>
those drivers report up to the core Xorg server which uses XKB.<br>
