Subject: [gentoo-user] X broken; keyboard for sure, maybe dri

1 A reboot has lost X, in particular the keyboard confuses it. Here is
2 the beginning of the X log. Unfortunately, I didn't save the previous
3 working log. This is ~amd64 under 2.6.30-gentoo-r1 and -r2.

5 I learned a while back I could get by without an X config. It swapped
6 a couple of the menu / alt / menu keys, but I adapted. Now X fills
7 its log with these "expected keysym, got XF86*" messages, and I have
8 no idea what causes them. Without X, it's hard to search the forums
9 and bugzilla to see how others have coped.
10
11 I suspect I have emerged or unmerged something I shouldn't have, but I
12 don't remember anything particular on this update / reboot cycle other
13 than LVM and the kernel change (2.6.30-gentoo-r1 to -r2), and reboot
14 with either -r1 or -r2 makes no difference that I can see.
15
16 There are two other problems. The "fb0" complaint has been there for
17 a while; I have to "sudo rm /dev/fb0" for X to work. The kernel has
18 the framebuffer configured, but I haven't investigated much because I
19 can get X working without /dev/fb0.

21 The "dri" line seems new, but might not matter. The display works.
22 The mouse works. It seems to be only the keyboard which is hosed.
23 But if someone knows how to fix the "dri" complaint, thanks.
