              nThis:


Many people have existing xorg.conf & XF86config files that specify use of the
"keyboard" driver.  If they upgrade to the current release on a platform with
the deprecated driver disabled, the server refuses to start, instead printing
an error message:
*** ERROR the legacy keyboard driver "keyboard" is deprecated
*** and has not been compiled into this X server.  It will be removed
*** in the next release of the Xorg server.
*** Please consider using the the new "kbd" driver for "Keyboard0".

xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/common/xf86Init.c should be changed so that
the message is only a warning, not a fatal error, and the server should simply
load kbd instead for the given device.
