I have the system running (sort of) but I had to add the option: Option "XkbDisable" "true" to get things to work. With (or without this option) virtual console (alt-ctl fn) doesn't work when running X (works fine without X). Without this option all key strokes are ignored - though on the console I get the error message about bad keysym). I did the usual searches and found a few people with similar problem (one noted missing /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/XKeysymDB) but that file is on my system and world readable. Another had a strange keyboard - mine is a simple 101 or 105 keyboard - us standard ps2 plug). My keyboard def from XFree86 is: Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Keyboard0" Driver "keyboard" Option "CoreKeyboard" # Option "XkbRules" "xfree86" # Option "XkbModel" "pc101" # Option "XkbLayout" "us" EndSection ---- I appreciate any suggestions. Things worked fine with XFree86 v3 (including switch to virtual console from within X) - I upgraded the kernel before upgrading X so things were working fine with the new kernel. (4.10Stable).
