--- Comment #4 from Stefan Esser <se@FreeBSD.org> ---
Just an observation with the patched port (patch attached to this PR applied):

It seems that I can enter all characters, including e.g. the Euro sign
(U+20AC), as verified in a terminal window and with xev.

Without the patch, the X server does not start at all (if a keymap with
characters >= 0x100 is loaded). 

With the patch, the X server starts and I do not see what's missing ;-)

Since 10.1 will have vt enabled by default and I plan to MFC a version of
rc.d/syscons, that selects a vt keymap matching a syscons keymap specified in
rc.conf, this may hurt people that upgrade an existing system to 10.1.

They'll have a working keyboard (with localized keymap) on the console, but
cannot any longer start the X server.

Therefore, I'd want to argue for adding this work-around to the
xorg-input-keyboard port, until a better solution is available.
