+Subject: [PATCH libX11] makekeys: handle the new _EVDEVK xorgproto symbols
+
+These keys are all defined through a macro in the form:
+   #define XF86XK_BrightnessAuto		_EVDEVK(0x0F4)
+
+The _EVDEVK macro is simply an offset of 0x10081000.
+Let's parse these lines correctly so those keysyms end up in our
+hashtables.
