I tried without the Xdb options and i solve the log's error, but the
keyboard doesn't work and now is worse 'cause the keys behaviour is
worse :(.... here i paste the XF86 part (maybe i miss smt):
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Generic Keyboard"
Driver "keyboard"
Option "CoreKeyboard"
EndSection
