Hi all,
Anybody see this and know the fix?

After after upgrading with the Oct 18th batch of stuff in current, X11 won't
start any more. The log file says it couldn't find the "Keyboard" driver.
Up until now my xorg.conf has worked fine on 15 machines. Is there some
other driver that needs to be specified now instead of "Keyboard"?

TIA
Neil

Have you changed your Driver to "kbd" in xorg.conf

The name of the driver has changed to "kbd". You'll have to edit
your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file to reflect this change.

Didn't the .*-current 'changelog' refer to this change? How is it
the OP or anyone else missed that?

I don't know about this case, but I imagine that many people do things like
install swaret, and just run blind updates every so often, without even
knowing beforehand what changes have been made, or why. Sort of like
closing your eyes and eating whatever someone happens to put in your mouth.
Too scary for me!

Yikes. I forgot about that "auto-pilot" stuff. Scary? You can say
that again. No way in hell I'd walk that isle either. Still seems
rather odd the OP mentioning 15 machines and not knowing about the
Xorg changes...

Just yesterday I found the solution in one of the mail groups. Just edit
your Xorg.conf file to remove the capital 'K'eyboard and replace with the
lower case. Simple but easily overlooked.
