Hello.
I was asked to forward this to the xmonad-list if Spencer didn't answer.

Hi.
I found a bug in the haskell-x11 library, causing all keybindings in
xmonad to fail on big-endian systems.
The problem is that the keycode in XKeyEvent is an "unsigned int" and
not a "KeyCode" (which is an alias for unsigned char). However in
Graphics/X11/Xlib/{Event,Extras}.hsc is is read as though it was a
KeyCode. This causes no problems on x86 as they result in the same
data being saved. However on big-endian this assumption means that the
read keycode is always 0.
I have fixed the problems in Event.hsc and Extras.hsc, that caused
xmonad to not work on big-endian, though I'm pretty sure there is a
lot more similar bugs out there (such as first_keycode in
XMappingEvent being an int).
