Re: [Ltib] Re: USB keyboard with Xfbdev

[Stuart Hughes]

Just a quick update.  I figured out in the end that what I was doing was
building the full Xorg, rather than staying with Kdrive. 

It seems that Kdrive should support USB keyboards without
xf86-input-keyboard-1.3  (I think).  In xorg-server-1.4 I think things
changed.  I can no longer find an option: BuildXInputExt as Alan
suggested.

I googled around and it seems as though there may be some problem with
this version:
http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg/2008-September/038581.html
However so far I've not really come up with a solution.

If anyone has an ideas, please speak up as I'm flapping around a bit
here (I don't really structurally understand how xorg fits together).

Regards, Stuart
