Everything else works, just the keyboard is hosed, and those keysym
messages sure seem suspiciously coincidental.

I did remerge things, and it made no apparent difference.

I have no libdri.so anywhere on my system.  Eselect shows nvidia and
xorg-x11; I tried both, it did change some symlinks, but never created
one for libdri.so.  I didn't see any ebuilds for that.  I also didn't
see any kernel modules for it.  I also tried rebooting with 2.6.29-r5
and that made no difference.

Yep, some kind of Radeon on this server.

I figure my best bet is figure out when the last boot was and check
emerge.log to see what changed since then.  Maybe something will pop
out and look likely.

Or, when I get to work and have a GUI again, google around some.
