+ * Changes in handling of input devices
+
Starting from this version, input devices are no longer configured
statically in /etc/X11/xorg.conf. Instead, input devices are detected at
runtime (and can be hotplugged) and configured individually. The default
keyboard layout is shared with the console and is configured in
- /etc/default/console-setup. As a result, devices configured to use the
- mouse or kbd driver are ignored by the X server by default.

+ * keycodes changes will break custom Xmodmaps
+
+ As a result of using the evdev driver for keyboards, the keycodes for some
+ keys are no longer the traditional xfree86 ones. This will break custom
+ Xmodmaps relying on the old keycodes.
