Hmm... apparently there is some problem with XDarwin figuring out
the keymapping. I'm not sure how the keymapping stuff is supposed
to work. At the moment, the MOL keyboard is more or less an ADB keyboard.
The OSX driver contains a keymapping table which is essentially based
upon the ADB one.

The simplest thing to resolve this issue is probably looking at
the XFree86 source...
