Ah, so this is where my key repeat went! Do you have any further
information on this? Like what the XKEYBOARD extension does, and
why key repeat is broken with it present? (I'm not terribly clueful

The egrep thing should be fixed soon. But as far as sysinst goes,
someone's going to have to take some ownership of it on the sparc
if it's ever going to go anywhere. Though I've hacked on it to make
it compile, I don't use sysinst at all myself.
