It worked on Solaris 11 in my testing, but I was only testing with input devices
coming from HAL, which was passing through the HAL-provided device path,
and didn't think to test the non-HAL case. You are correct that case doesn't
set the property, and that adding xf86ReplaceStrOption to OpenKeyboard replaced
it.
I'll handle that in a separate patch, so it's more obvious what the BSD & Hurd
folks need to do if they care about setting it.
