Unhappy upgrading by Swaret==>Xorg problem


after a while I desided to update my slackware 10. there is no new packages in ".../slakcware-10.0", so i changed VERSION=10.0 in swaret.conf to VERSION=current. after that, swaret found more than 100 new packages to be fresh up and installed. all of them were done correctly except one( i dont remember which, but seems to me not important...never heard there is a linux package with that name!). everything was OK. I log out my session to apply changes on my laptop but I got this error was about Xorg!

**********************************
X windows system version 6.8.2
....
....
....
(==) logfile, "/var/log/Xorg.0.log", time .....
(==) using config file : "/etc/X11/Xorg.conf"
(EE) failed to load module "speedo" (module does not exist, 0)
(EE) failed to load module "ketboard" (module does not exist, 0)
(EE) No input driver matching `Keyboard'
no core keybaord
fatal server error
failed to initialize core devices.
....

***********************************
now I can't go into KDE as I did before. is there any comment or help about this problem.
many Thanks

This error has nothing to do with swaret. The driver name has changed.

find the line that says

Driver "keyboard"

and replace it with

Driver "kbd"

This was a change in xorg

If the change of case doesn't work ("Kbd" to "kbd") you could always run xorgconfig and re-set it up.

go to control centre, fonts section, and enable "Use anti-aliasing for fonts". This will restore the pleasant look to fonts.
