  I just made a somewhat simpler version, that from some basic
tests only misses autorepeat, but I did not follow the code to
see how to actually set the repeat and intervals.
  Maybe should be on the KeybdCtrl defaultKeyboardControl, as I
don't know if there is an api for calling it..., but would look
ugly to set that global variable, so, left as an exercise to
whoever wants to finish the patch; I am using evdev...


  Hint on how I did test the patch, and some intermediate versions
that would fail to load due to unresolved symbols; add to
/etc/X11/xorg.conf something like:
-%<-
Section "InputDevice"
    Identifier "Mouse1"
    Driver "mouse"
    Option "Protocol" "ExplorerPS/2"
    Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
    Identifier "Keyboard1"
    Driver "kbd"
   Option "CoreKeyboard"
EndSection
-%<-

and to Section "ServerLayout":
-%<-
    InputDevice "Keyboard1" "CoreKeyboard"
    InputDevice "Mouse1" "CorePointer"
-%<-

and to Section "ServerFlags":
-%<-
    Option "AutoEnableDevices" "True"
    Option "AutoAddDevices" "False"
-%<-

  Then, run something like:
% startx & sleep 15; killall X

If you have a ssh access, it will be easier...
Then, you may also need to run from a xterm something like:
% setxkbmap -rules xorg us_intl
