Xorg upgrade from xfree on slack.
Hi, i just installed xorg on my slackware desktop, but when i try to run X it comes up with this error "cannot load core modules" Or somthjing like tht, anyway i looked at the log adn it says "cannot load keyboard" and "cannot load monitor", it loads my video card and mouse fine, but tht doesnt matter it wont boot X without keyboard and monitor.
Thanks In advance.
Sam.

ohh.. it's sending you into an Xwindows on boot?
When it tries to start X up, do a Cntrl+ALT+Backspace
press all 3 keys at the same time
it will eventually give up trying to boot into Xwindows. Then you can e-mail yourself the xorg.conf file or something.

At the command prompt enter
sed -i "s@keyboard@kbd@g" /etc/X11/xorg.conf

the problem is that the driver for the keyboard has changed from "kbd" to "keyboard". Change this in your xorg.conf and issue the command startx.
This change happened with XOrg version 6.8.1.

Driver "kbd" instead "Keyboard"
Option "XkbRules "xorg" instead "xorg"
Add this section
Section "Extensions"
Option "Composite" "Enable"
Option "RENDER" "Enable"
EndSection
to have some nice eye-kandies
