A reboot has lost X, in particular the keyboard confuses it. Here is
the beginning of the X log. Unfortunately, I didn't save the previous
working log. This is ~amd64 under 2.6.30-gentoo-r1 and -r2.
I learned a while back I could get by without an X config. It swapped
a couple of the menu / alt / menu keys, but I adapted. Now X fills
its log with these "expected keysym, got XF86*" messages, and I have
no idea what causes them. Without X, it's hard to search the forums
and bugzilla to see how others have coped.
I suspect I have emerged or unmerged something I shouldn't have, but I
don't remember anything particular on this update / reboot cycle other
than LVM and the kernel change (2.6.30-gentoo-r1 to -r2), and reboot
with either -r1 or -r2 makes no difference that I can see.
There are two other problems. The "fb0" complaint has been there for
a while; I have to "sudo rm /dev/fb0" for X to work. The kernel has
the framebuffer configured, but I haven't investigated much because I
can get X working without /dev/fb0.
The "dri" line seems new, but might not matter. The display works.
The mouse works. It seems to be only the keyboard which is hosed.
But if someone knows how to fix the "dri" complaint, thanks.
