>From previous notes you see I attempted to upgrade from XFree86 v3 to v4.
I have the system running (sort of) but I had to add the option:
Option "XkbDisable" "true"
to get things to work. With (or without this option) virtual console
(alt-ctl fn) doesn't work when running X (works fine without X). Without
this option all key strokes are ignored - though on the console I get
the error message about bad keysym).
I did the usual searches and found a few people with similar problem
(one noted missing /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/XKeysymDB) but that file is
on my system and world readable. Another had a strange
keyboard - mine is a simple 101 or 105 keyboard - us standard ps2 plug).
My keyboard def from XFree86 is:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Keyboard0"
Driver "keyboard"
Option "CoreKeyboard"
# Option "XkbRules" "xfree86"
# Option "XkbModel" "pc101"
# Option "XkbLayout" "us"
EndSection

I appreciate any suggestions. Things worked fine with XFree86 v3 (including
switch to virtual console from within X) - I upgraded the kernel before
upgrading X so things were working fine with the new kernel. (4.10Stable).
Thanks,
Alan
