Thank you very much, it is working!

Yes, I noticed that wsconsctl don't understand:
wsconsctl -f /dev/wskbd1 -a, it just displays wskbd0's values. Also this can't
be done in /etc/wsconsctl.conf, I must add this to eg. /etc/rc.local. But, I
know... patches are welcome, so I'll just shut up.

Anyway, thanks again!
