SaX2 won't start after x.org update


I have updated my x.org installation a couple of days ago using the rpms for SuSE 9.1 provided by SuSE. Everything works fine, but SaX2 won't start anymore. According to Sax2.log there's a problem loading keyboard drivers:

Code:
(II) SIS(0): Using SiS300/315/330/340 series HW Xv by default on CRT1
	(==) RandR enabled
	(II) Setting vga for screen 0.
	(II) Initializing built-in extension MIT-SHM
	(II) Initializing built-in extension XInputExtension
	(II) Initializing built-in extension XTEST

	(**) Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
	select returned 1
         
         (cutting 20+ more of the above line)

	(II) Mouse[1]: ps2EnableDataReporting: succeeded
	No core keyboard
	
	Fatal server error:
	failed to initialize core devices
	
	Please consult the The X.Org Foundation support 
	 at http://wiki.X.Org
	 for help. 
	Please also check the log file at "/var/log/Xorg.0.0.log" for additional information.
	
	(II) SIS(0): Restoring by setting old mode 0x4d
Xorg.0.0.log does not contain more information, just the same.

I don't know what I have to do now. Can anybody help?

Error: (EE) No Input driver matching `Keyboard'


I've never done something like this, but make sure that you /etc/xorg.conf have the following (or similar):

Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "single head configuration"
Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0
InputDevice "Mouse0" "CorePointer"
InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
EndSection


Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Keyboard0"
Driver "kbd"
Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
Option "XkbLayout" "us"
EndSection

Regards/Casper

Thanks, sections like these do exist already. The X server is running ok, too, it's only SaX2 which seems to get problems.

The reason why it failes is "(EE) No Input driver matching `Keyboard'" - so somehow SaX2 might have a problem with the configuration file. Or it does not like xorg...

Quote:
3) Known issues
---------------
* 'Driver "Keyboard"' in /etc/X11/XF86Config needs to be replaced by
'Driver "kbd"'. Otherwise the Xserver won't start.
I think that SaX2 if erroring because the config file is not in the correct format, doesn't recognize 'Keyboard'.

Hope that helps

Edit: You patched the 9.1 with XFree86 installed normally, right? And copied the config file from the old XServer...

Xserver starts ok, and I have replaced keyboard with kbd already. Still no SaX2. However, the main reason why I needed SaX2 at all is my graphics tablet, and I have been able to configure it by hand, so it's not top priority anymore.
