It should also be noted that over on ye ol' fedora-list, there
are several people complaining that X locks out their keyboards (both
USB and standard PS/2) if they don't keep their old Xorg.conf files.
One of them is planning to file a BZ report.  Look for a bug reported
by Patrick O'Callaghan <pocallaghan at gmail.com>.

Just a heads up.
