>Description:
It looks like the xorg server built from pkgsrc is still using /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/XKeysymDB instead of
/usr/pkg/xorg/lib/X11/XKeysymDB. So, if you do a clean install of
xorg-server onto a system without a prexisting server installed in
/usr/X11R6, then you have no working keyboard when you start X.
Also, Xorg produces errors like this at startup:
expected keysym, got XF86_Switch_VT_11: line 91 of pc/pc
expected keysym, got XF86_Switch_VT_12: line 95 of pc/pc
expected keysym, got XF86_Ungrab: line 127 of pc/pc
expected keysym, got XF86_ClearGrab: line 133 of pc/pc
expected keysym, got XF86_Prev_VMode: line 139 of pc/pc
expected keysym, got XF86_Next_VMode: line 149 of pc/pc
Errors from xkbcomp are not fatal to the X server
>How-To-Repeat:
install xorg-server pkg and remove /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/XKeysymDB. restart X.
