I tried to upgrade X to 6.8.1 but I kept getting an error dealing with
the keyboard. I kept getting the "failed to initialize core devices"
error specifically for the keyboard. I don't have this problem with
6.7.0. I have no clue why it can't find the keyboard module. I mean
it worked in the kernel and its a standard keyboard in the xorg.conf
file. My keyboard is set like this

Identifier "Keyboard1"
Driver "Keyboard"

The other error I received was that it could load the speedo fonts
module. Are they not in the new X11?

One last question. I disabled MySQL from starting when the system
does, but when I do a shutdown it sits for a while trying to turn off
MySQL. It then gives up and finishes shutting down. How do I remove
it from trying to shutdown MySQL in rc.6?

The name of the Keyboard driver has changed from "keyboard" to "kbd" in
version 6.8.1

Delete the file /var/run/mysql/mysql.pid

I had the same problem on upgrading - The driver has changed to "kbd"

That's odd; when I upgraded, I guessed (correctly) that I could just
change the capitalized "Keyboard" to "keyboard". It worked fine for me. I
had no idea that it should actually be "kbd".

Very strange.

Thanks for the help it works now. I added to the list of things I have to
do if I even have to reinstall everything.
