The same was true in 7.0 as well, unless I'm very much mistaken. The only difference is that we've started to rip out the #ifdef USE_DEPRECATED_KEYBOARD_DRIVER blocks, and all the infrastructure in the server that wasn't ifdefed somehow, but I don't think the driver was built in any case. IIRC requests for 'keyboard' will cause 'kbd' to be loaded. If not, it's a really simple hack to xf86Config.c:xf86InputDriverlistFromConfig(). Cheers, Daniel
