I solved my Unsupported keyboard type problem last night. The
permissions on /dev/kbd were too restrictive for the Xserver to open
read/write. The -current MAKEDEV script changes the mode of /dev/kbd
to 0666, which allowed the X server to start.
But I wonder if wide open permissions are wise. Can't the proverbial
"bad guy" open up /dev/kbd and intercept keystrokes?
