Don't know if this is related; but I recently changed my 32-bit machine
running Etch from XFree86 to Xorg and there was an error in the generated
xorg.conf, an instance of
Driver "Keyboard"
that should have read
Driver "keyboard"
This was keeping X from starting up altogether, and it cost me a night's sleep
as I faffed around trying to get a working xorg.conf together. OTOH, now I
have done it, it rocks bells.
If it makes any difference, I have been using the open source "nv" graphics
card drivers all along on both my 32 and 64 bit machines.
