>Description:
The "xorg-server" package currently depends on these packages:

Xrender>=0.9.0nb1
fontconfig>=2.3.2nb2
freetype2>=2.1.10nb1
xorg-libs>=6.9.0nb2

If one however installs only these dependences the "xorg-server" will not
work properly:

1.) Virtual console switching doesn't work.
2.) You cannot use alternate keyboard layouts.

>How-To-Repeat:
1.) Install "xorg-server" package with "xorg-client" package.
2.) Launch the X server e.g. via XFree86's "xdm".
3.) Try to switch virtual consoles.
4.) Check logfiles and find out that the X server cannot load the keyboard
    layout tables.

>Fix:
Either add a dependence to "xorg-clients" to the "xorg-server" package
or move "xkbcomp" and the assosiated data files to the "xorg-server"
package.
