Yeah. I'm using util/modular/build.sh, building xserver and driver.
Did it by hand multiple times as well, didn't help.

Checked in the install directory, the /opt/MPX/include/xorg/ 
inputstr.h file changes accordingly. Output from make in the keyboard  
includes said directory, so in theory it should work.

I had a similar problem with the mouse first, introducing the field  
into the struct caused segfaults. Rebuilding the server from scratch  
helped, but it doesn't work with the keyboard.
