My earlier mail reporting problems with the xorg server from pkgsrc was due to 
a mistake on my part. I've been using UNIX/X11 for quite a while, so I've
accumulated some cruft in some of my dot files over the years. In this case,
this little turdlet in .profile:

XKEYSYMDB=/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/XKeysymDB

which made Xorg look in the wrong place for keyboard info. The xorg server
seems to be just swell. Sorry for wasting time and bandwidth.
