Hm, I have no further ideas. Does using deprecated keyboard driver still work? 
It's explained here:
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-sparc64/2005-February/002775.html

You can grab a patch here:
http://www.ijs.si/~lesi/xorg/xorg-server-sparc64-enabledepreckeyboard.diff
It will remove the patch that obviously doesn't help and enable 'keyboard' 
driver on sparc64 platform. If this still works and nobody comes up with 
something better, this should probably be commited.

Can somebody explain the problem on X.Org mailing list 
(xorg at lists.freedesktop.org 
http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg)
If no one is willing I'll let them know about this problem (since 'keyboard' 
driver is deprecated it will eventually go away), but it would probably be 
more useful if somebody with problem can mail them since of course it would 
be easier to communicate and debug this.

Dejan:

I'll try to test "xorg-server-sparc64-enabledepreckeyboard.diff" tommorow 
when I am back in the office.

I'll be happy to make a post on the Xorg list after testing, can 
you tell me though is the list "ok/cool/hip" with the FreeBSD ports 
patch/install system -or- will they be expecting that I had compiled 
the source tree from scratch and report problems against that.

If they expect me to compile from source I'll attempt that before
posting.  

Please advise.
