 Posted: Wed Jan 19, 2005 12:26 pm Post subject: Help, XDM failure to load Keyboard Module in 2.6.10r5 |
 |
|
I have some problems about upgrading my kernel from 2.6.8-r3 to 2.6.10-r5:
I have followed this gentoo guide (Kernel Upgrade) completely:
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/kernel-upgrade.xml
and no issues there during the whole time of configuring, installing and compiling.
I have however automerged the files during "etc-update".
Now I was still in my 2.6.8-r3 then and I configured my grub.conf for my newly installed 2.6.10-r5 and rebooted - and then the problem came.
First, I could not go into gnome anymore - this was expected as my nvidia module will have to be linked again to the new kernel I just installed. So while in command prompt I logged in as root successfully and emerged and hoping that after that things will be fine.
Well sort of, except i got graphics after emerging them and i rebooted. However it was not gnome, it seemed like something like plain xdm (with only xterms available)
So I emerged gnome AND xorg-x11 again - thinking I mite have done something stupid merging files while in etc-update earlier.
At that time I also upgraded all my system modules by typing:
emerge -Upd system
Anyhow after all that, I have now hit a wall.
Upon loading XDM - there are 3 errors which disable me to launch gdm and gnome:
| Code: |
(EE) Failed to load module "Keyboard" (module does not exist, 0)
(EE) No Input driver matching `Keyboard'
No core keyboard
Fatal server error:
failed to initialize core devices
...
xdm error (pid 7305): IO Error in XOpenDisplay
xdm error (pid 7301): Display :0 cannot be opened
|
Now the same is said for my Xorg.0.log:
| Code: |
(EE) Failed to load module "Keyboard" (module does not exist, 0)
...
(EE) No Input driver matching `Keyboard'
|
Does anyone know what is wrong??! Or have I missed something when I tried to upgrade my kernel?
PS: I tried typing startx after all this while in command prompt (after failing to load gdm) it says Command not found. 
Also im still using my old xorg.conf file for my 2.6.10-r5 since I didnt do any merging of files after emerging nvidia-kernel and nvidia-glx.

I'm going to assume you are using Xorg-6.8.0 and say that there is no such thing as a Keyboard driver it has been changed to "kbd"
| Code: |
Identifier "Keyboard1"
Driver "Keyboard" |
Should be
| Code: |
Identifier "Keyboard1"
Driver "kbd" |
