According to http://ftp.x.org/pub/X11R7.1/doc/RELNOTES5.html#34
legacy "keyboard" driver has been dropped in 7.1 and users have to replace
   Driver  "keyboard"
by
   Driver  "kbd"
in their xorg.conf.  I have not installed 7.1 yet, what happens if this
change is not performed?  What can we do to let people upgrade from older
versions without losing their keyboard?
