xfree 4.3 FBDEV drivers problems

(EE) FBDEV(0): FBIOPAN_DISPLAY: Invalid argument

Couldn't load XKB keymap, falling back to pre-XKB keymap

i'm getting these weird errors (that i didn't get with xfree 4.2.x (sid's). also, the xserver seems much slower than it was 
in 4.2.x. i can explain the SEGV - i think it's xset SEGVing, but i can't explain the (EE), since i'm using the same config asi did in 4.2; i also cannot explain why it's not loading XKB stuff, it did before the "upgrade".

i'm not subbed to the list, so please CC: me (i'll sub shortly if need be).

TIA,
eric
