Not so long ago, I upgraded to the X.org 6.8.2 packages in
unstable. The upgrade was very smooth and easy, and produced a working
configuration right away (creating /etc/X11/xorg.conf from the old
XF86Config-4 file). It looks like the X Strike Force has done a really
great job.
However, there were a couple of small adjustments that I had to make
by hand that I thought would be worth reporting here, in case others
have had similar issues.
1. I initially lost access to my TrueType fonts. This turned out to be
because X.org no longer uses the xtt module (its functionality
included instead in the freetype module). So when I commented out:
#Load "xtt"
from the Modules section and instead:
Load "freetype"
the problem was solved.
2. The X.org server no longer supports the speedo module or the
associated fonts, so I was getting warning messages until I
commented out the relevant lines in the Fonts section and in the
Modules section. Very minor.
3. Most serious problem:
(EE) Couldn't load XKB keymap, falling back to pre-XKB keymap
The most visible symptom here was that I could no longer use
Ctl-Alt-Fn to get back to the n-th virtual console from a running X
session. The solution in this case was to make a link from:
/etc/X11/xkb/rules/xfree86 to /etc/X11/xkb/rules/xorg
and also from:
/etc/X11/xkb/rules/xfree86.lst to /etc/X11/xkb/rules/xorg.1st.
