could not initialize keyboard under Wayland

[realwhz]

Hello.

Looks like sam cannot open under Wayland environment (GNOME 3.24). It complains: could not initialize keyboard. After changing to X11 based GNOME, it can work properly.

Not sure if it is a known issue. Suggestions are welcome. Thanks.

p.s., the sam from `plan9 from user space' works fine under the same environment.

Perhaps the following bugreport is relevant. I will give it a try. https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=89240

After switching to XkbGetMap resolves the problem. However, I'm not sure if it will affect its stability under X11 (two additional checks have to be removed too).

@realwhz Please check the latest master code and see if it works under Wayland. If not, please open a new issue. Thank you!
