I received the following advice from a non-list member which worked like 
a charm.

Hi Bill, read your message here:

http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-list/2004-May/msg04828.html

I did some googling, and while I see that you've already had one on-list
response, I also came up with this:

http://kerneltrap.org/node/view/1582

I added that kernel option and things are back to the way they used to be
under FC1.

As for your other question about the Xkb error, changing XkbRules to
"xorg" (was "xfree86") in /etc/X11/XF86Config made those errors go away.

HTH!  Please forward to the list if you like, I am not subscribed, I just
saw your msg in the archives.

Thanx.
