SV: K7 and K8 ; keyboard recognition;

[sigbj-st]

After correcting the '--repeater=' to '--repeat=' I am getting tty1-6. The 
operation works nice and smooth on the K8.
But on STARTX I receive 'reading XF86Config....cannot open the keyboard...(no 
such file)'
I tried different choices during the installation K8_CD1 while running 
install.sh and gui.sh. Could it be that I messed the whole thing up doing wrong 
or unnecessary choices?

The /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 looks like this at the keyboard section:

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier      "Generic Keyboard"
        Driver          "keyboard"
        Option          "CoreKeyboard"
        Option          "XkbRules"      "xfree86"
        Option          "XkbModel"      "pc104"
        Option          "XkbLayout"     "no"
        Option          "XkbVariant"    "no"
        Option          "XkbOptions"    "no"
EndSection

And by the way the mouse section:

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier      "Configured Mouse"
        Driver          "mouse"
        Option          "CorePointer"
        Option          "Device"                "/dev/psaux"
        Option          "Protocol"              "PS/2"
        Option          "Emulate3Buttons"       "true"
        Option          "ZAxisMapping"          "4 5"
EndSection
Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier      "Generic Mouse"
        Driver          "mouse"
        Option          "SendCoreEvents"        "true"
        Option          "Device"                "/dev/input/mice"
        Option          "Protocol"              "ImPS/2"
        Option          "Emulate3Buttons"       "true"
        Option          "ZAxisMapping"          "4 5"
EndSection

Just to show you.
I am wondering what specificly should be written in the config-file, or if this 
has anything to do with the freeze_and_hang I get upon startx at that point. 
The required
'export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/X11R6/lib' is in the /etc/profile and I even tried to 
specify to:
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/X11R6/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH

Trying establishing symlinks is returned with '..kbd..already exist'. Can find 
no /dev/cons after 'console -d.....' operation. Should I find it? I tried to 
follow the DebianX in hurd.gnufans.org.

It seems like I was confused. Use --repeat instead of --repeater.
After that you need to make some symlinks. This is described on the
wiki:
