>Description:
	I have downloaded all the latest XFree86-4.3.0 packages from
	FreeBSD's ftp server, and updated my XFree86-4.2.0 installation
	using portupgrade:

	portupgrade -R -PP XFree86-4\*

	Everything went fine, but now when starting the X server (I use
	xdm) I cannot type anything on the login prompt. Every key press
	results in the X server switching its resolution (like using
	Ctrl-Alt-+ in the past).

	I've attached the output of the session, with the reported
	errors. From the output, and from what I could get at Google, it
	seems to be a problem common to many people upgrading to 4.3.0.
	The problem does not seem to be with xdm, but with xkbcomp.

	However I haven't found a reasonable explanation or solution to
	the problem. There are also two unanswered questions related to
	this topic on @freebsd-questions from May 2003.

	One workaround suggested renaming /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb/compat
	so that it wouldn't be found. The user said this fixed the
	problem (he could start X and use the keyboard). 
	
	However I'm looking for a definitive answer/patch/solution. Thus
	the PR.

	Thanks in advance for any reply or followup,

	Fernan
