Sarge X11 Amiga clgen configuration



Hello,

For some time I have been having trouble getting the Sarge release of X to work on my Amiga 
2000 w/clgen video board.  I hope the following additional information will give someone 
here an 'a ha!' moment that can lead me to a solution.

I reinstalled the x-window-system package, after having removed all the x* and related 
packages (purged).

When X attempts to start after a reboot, it does not start, and when X is started via the 
shell (user root), I get the following error message:

> Error:            Can't find file "pc/usa1" for symbols include
>                   Exiting
>                   Abandoning symbols file "default"

Note that this error does not cause the server to shut down when run from a logged in shell 
via the startx command, but it does seem to cause the server to shut down when starting from 
the boot process.

The above error is generated when I use the following for the keyboard segment of my 
XF86Config-4:

Section "InputDevice"
	Identifier	"Generic Keyboard"
	Driver		"keyboard"
	Option		"CoreKeyboard"
	Option		"XkbRules"	"xfree86"
	Option		"XkbModel"	"amiga"
	Option		"XkbLayout"	"usa1"
	Option		"CustomKeycodes"
EndSection

Note that the above is hand-modified, as the package configuration will now allow you to 
select "Option "CustomKeycodes" which is needed to get uppercase characters.

I did notice that there is no item for "amiga" or "usa1" in the /etc/X11/xkb/symbols 
directory.

Complete error logs and config files are available at:

Suggestions? 

Thanks,
