I don't understand.  I just upgraded my testing distro from
xserver-xfree86, which allowed me to switch to the virtual consoles,
to xserver-xorg, which doesn't appear to do so.  If there are XKB
problems, how can I go about diagnosing what might have changed
between these two servers?  I haven't touched my XKB configuration in
the interim.

Thanks,
