Yes.
To be completely accurate, the version I was using with 4.2.1-6pre7v2 had all
the above options *uncommented*, and I'm only inferring that removing them
would also work; I think that's a safe assumption though. On the 4.2.1-6
side, I tried with and without the commenting out, both resulting in the
error in the logs.
Some more data: I first noticed this problem on a brand new box I was just
installing Linux on. I found the new XFree86 ignoring my keyboard options,
and found the error in the logs. I started wondering why my laptop didn't
have this problem. At this point I noticed the different versions/sources of
the XFree86 debs. I upgraded a few debs on the laptop, and it too then
started to exhibit the problem. Now, I most definitely upgraded the "xlibs"
deb on the laptop, but I'm not fully certain of the others. I know they were
all directly XFree86 related, and according to the current installed deb
versions, it would seem that the other two were "xlibs-dev" and
"xbase-clients". This sounds about right, as I hazily recall upgrading about
3 debs. The other XFree86-related debs on the laptop are 4.2.1-5, or 4.2.1-3,
hence not part of that upgrade. On the new box, of course, everything is
4.2.1-6.
