72 If I read this correctly, it appears that it can not find the keyboard
73 or something. This is what makes me think that: "The XKEYBOARD keymap
74 compiler (xkbcomp) reports: > Warning: Multiple names for > keycode 211".
75
76 In your make.conf, do you have a line that is something like this:
77
78 INPUT_DEVICES="keyboard mouse"
79
80 Also make sure you have something like the following in your xorg.conf file:
81
82 Section "InputDevice"
83 Identifier "Keyboard0"
84 Driver "kbd"
85 EndSection
86
87 Section "InputDevice"
88 Identifier "Mouse0"
89 Driver "mouse"
90 Option "Protocol" "auto"
91 Option "Device" "/dev/input/mouse0"
92 Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5 6 7"
93 EndSection
94
95 This may not have anything to do with the problem but it is something
96 that didn't look right to me.
