When I try to start X, it fails with a message about KBDFORCEASCII ioctl
inappropriate for device.
I am running with patchkit-0.2.2 and XFree86-1.2, with pccons. I just got
Veit's codrv-0.1.2.ALPHA-230293.tar.Z and keycap-0.1.1.tar.Z, but have not
installed them. Will they fix this problem. or is there something else
wrong with my configuration?
