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

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