This is wrong. The 3rd argument is a column, not an event state.

I suggest you:
1. Read xcb_key_symbols_get_keysym() comments on top of the function in
   xcb-util's keysym.c. Read until you understand it completely. :)
2. Take a look at awesome's keyresolver[1], which is the best
   implementation I'm aware of in this area.

And yes, you should use XKB to have a real keyboard support. Even with
awesome's code, you won't be able to support correctly all keyboards and
their complicated variants.
