X problems after update to Sarge
Hello,
I am having several problems with X on my 68K system: Amiga 2000, GVP030
combo card ( SCSI, 16M ram, 40 MHz). X had been working properly under
my Woody install but it has not worked properly since I updated my
system to Sarge.
1. X will come up when I am logged in as root user with the startx
command, but it will not come up automatically from reboot. The
XFree86.0.log shows that it cannot open the screen 0.
2. I have modified the X configuration files as decribed in the
X-terminal howto, and my X-terminal shows the log on screen. I can log
on as the root user at the X terminal, but I cannot log on as a normal
users. The error message indicate the the keyboard could not be
configured, causing X to abort.
3. What keyboard configuration should I be using in the XF86Config-4? I
had been using this:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Generic Keyboard"
Driver "keyboard"
Option "CoreKeyboard"
Option "XkbRules" "xfree86"
Option "XkbModel" "amiga"
Option "XkbLayout" "usa1"
# cannot use uppercase from keyboard without the following:
Option "CustomKeycodes"
but given the error message that keyboard cannot be configured, I'm not
sure if this is correct. Taking away the Model Amiga and Layout usa1
makes the error go away, but gives me a keyboard that is not usable.
Those items are listed in the /etc/X11/xkb... directory tree.
4. Relevant piece of /var/log/xdm.log

Could not init font path element /usr/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo, removing
from list!
5. I have always goten the error about the Speedo font (even under
Woody). I am curious, what does this font do? I have the speedo module
checked in the XF86Config-4 files.
I have been at this a couple weeks need, believe I don't the dilligent
Google earches and read the FAQ documentation.
Suggestions requested!
