My Upgrade was successful!

I upgraded from 5.4-RC3 to 5.4-STABLE (amd64) using cvsup (the src-all bran=
ch)=20
and rebuilt the whole system from source.

I did not reinstall or change anything else, neither X.Org nor KDE.
But now the keyboard works, even after directly booting into X (starting kd=
m=20
from /usr/local/etc/rc.d).

I should also mention that I'm using a Keytronic keyboard, not a Fluebox as=
=20
lined out in this thread.

Regards,
bh
