I just digged through the xkb code and found that xkbcomp produces buggy
output and X itself trusts it and crashes. Could someone please verify this.
(you need /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/XKeysymDB and complete /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb)
Start the xserver
run setxkbmap -display 127.0.0.1:0.0 de
the Xserver will crash with Status Access Violation. This seems to be a task
for the core Xfree developers since they're using pointers without makeing
sure the pointers are not NULL. (xkb/xkbUtils xkbUpdateDescActions())
Apart from this xmodmap seems to write the keymaps in a wrong format.
I also tried using a xkb-map compiled on my linux box and this one worked as
expected.
