Here is the beginning of the X log. Unfortunately, I didn't save the previous working log. This is ~amd64 under 2.6.30-gentoo-r1 and -r2. I learned a while back I could get by without an X config. It swapped a couple of the menu / alt / menu keys, but I adapted. Now X fills its log with these "expected keysym, got XF86*" messages, and I have no idea what causes them. Without X, it's hard to search the forums and bugzilla to see how others have coped. I suspect I have emerged or unmerged something I shouldn't have, but I don't remember anything particular on this update / reboot cycle other than LVM and the kernel change (2.6.30-gentoo-r1 to -r2), and reboot with either -r1 or -r2 makes no difference that I can see. There are two other problems. The "fb0" complaint has been there for a while; I have to "sudo rm /dev/fb0" for X to work. The kernel has the framebuffer configured, but I haven't investigated much because I can get X working without /dev/fb0. The "dri" line seems new, but might not matter. The display works. The mouse works. It seems to be only the keyboard which is hosed. But if someone knows how to fix the "dri" complaint, thanks. =========== begin X log X.Org X Server 1.5.2 Release Date: 10 October 2008 X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0 Build Operating System: Linux 2.6.27-gentoo-r7 x86_64 Current Operating System: Linux crowfix 2.6.30-gentoo-r2 #1 SMP PREEMPT Sat Jul 4 14:07:08 PDT 2009 x86_64 Build Date: 20 December 2008 04:18:31PM Before reporting problems, check http://wiki.x.org to make sure that you have the latest version.
