Startx worked prior to upgrade - now display starts and immediately returns to consol. Keyboard works fine on consol. Log file entries relating to kb are as follows: Note that the driver name is case-sensitive. ------ X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0, Release 6.8.2 Config file /etc/X11/XF86Config Log file /var/log/Xorg.0.log (**) |-->Input Device "Keyboard1" (**) Option "AutoRepeat" "500 30" (**) Option "XkbRules" "xfree86" (**) XKB: rules: "xfree86" (**) Option "KkbModel" "pc104" (**) XKB: model: "pc104" (**) Option "XkbLayout" "us" (**) XKB: layout: "us" (==) Keyboard: CustomKeycode disabled (EE) No Input driver matching 'keyboard' No core keyboard Fatal server error failed to initialize core devices ------- What have I not done!! ----- Answer Failed to go to the right place for info ! I have found the answer to my question on X.orgs website! ------- 5.1. Legacy keyboard driver phase-out The legacy keyboard driver is no longer compiled into the X server by default on certain platforms (including Linux). The newer kbd driver replaces the older built-in driver. It is suggested that, if the X server says that it cannot load the keyboard driver, then the xorg.conf file should be updated to use the new kbd driver, which can be done by changing the Driver line in the InputDevice section. For example, Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Keyboard0" Driver "kbd" EndSection ------------- David David Southwell Ham call sign M0TAU ****Remove nospamme_ from reply to ****** 40 yrs navigating and computing in blue waters.
