Just a quick FYI: the keyboard bugs in recent joyrides (various buttons not working or misbehaving) is fixed by the X server update in joyride 2207.
The problem was that a Fedora 9 update included an updated evdev driver, which had been compiled against a newer X server (we have forked xserver, so we don't automatically get updates there). I have resynced our xserver with Fedora's so we support the new ABI which evdev uses. Resyncing the X server was not quite as simple as you might expect. Previously, X was compiled along with the mesa sources to offer software-based GL. The software GL is very slow but word on the street is that some activities use it anyway. In the newer X server, the software GL implementation (dri_swrast) has been moved to mesa, which we don't include in our builds. The newer X server also includes a bug which caused it to crash when no swrast was present, I wrote a patch included in our build which I will be committing to freedesktop git upstream shortly... Anyway, at the moment, we have no swrast in our build, which means no GL support at all. Does anyone care? I am going to work with Fedora to get the swrast module separated from the overweight mesa-dri-drivers - this could return in future if we need it. Sorry for any inconvenience, this was the most straightforward way of getting a working X and a working keyboard again.
