USB keyboard with Xfbdev (again)

[Stuart Hughes]

Hi John,

Thanks for the reply.  I don't think I can use Xorg as the box I'm on
only has framebuffer

Anyhow, I just tried 1.4.2 and this works.  I still have some warnings
when I start which I'm not sure about, but otherwise all seems okay.
This is what I see:

$ ssh macg4 -l root
~ #  Xfbdev -ac -mouse mouse -keybd keyboard &
(EE) XKB: Couldn't open rules file /usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/base
Couldn't find keyboard driver keybd
(EE) XKB: Couldn't open rules file /usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/base
~ # DISPLAY=:0 twm
Switching to mouse protocol "imps/2"
Switching to mouse protocol "exps/2"
Switching to mouse protocol "bus"
Switching to mouse protocol "ps/2"

And when I kill twm I see:

^C~ # FreeFontPath: FPE "built-ins" refcount is 2, should be 1; fixing.
(EE) XKB: Couldn't open rules file /usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/base
Couldn't find keyboard driver keybd
Mouse device is serial port, protocol exps/2 is not serial protocol
(EE) XKB: Couldn't open rules file /usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/base


Are these warnings anything to worry about?  Is there anyway to remove
them?

BTW: I can't easily move to the latest version of xorg-server as I'd
have too many other collateral packages to update.

Regards, Stuart
