I guess I've definitely missed some really serious stuff introduced in
xorg 1.4 and evdev 1.2. Seems like now HAL should be used to configure
my keyboard, and it looks like a way more flexible solution than
globbing features which used to be built in the evdev driver. It's a
pity `evdev(4x)` documentation is way behind the actual code.
I also wonder if HAL dependency will affect the portability of X server
(and the whole X infrastructure).
