Aha! xorg-server! All I saw in the docs I had been
looking at was xorg-x11.

So I proceeded to emerge xorg-server for real. No more keyboard problems.
Instead I get the black screen of death. The monitor on light starts
bliking, indicating it is getting no signal, ctrl-alt-backspace and
ctrl-alt-delete don't work, and only a hard reset on the box itself
gets anything going.
My make.conf specifies VIDEO_CARDS="radeon", even though the automatically
generated /root/xorg.conf.new specifies
Driver "ati"
in the "Device" section. Could this be a problem? The hardware is a. ATI
Radeon all-in-wonder card.
I tried replacing ati by fbdev just to get something working, but it just
told me it couldn't find fbdev. Presumably this driver was not installed.
Is the proper way to install this add in fbdev to the make.conf file:
VIDEO_CARDS="radeon fbdev"
or even
VIDEO_CARDS="radeon ati fbdev"
and then re-emerge xorg-server? Or is there a more straightforward way? I
still haven't found a way to browse the list of available packages the way
I used to do in Debian using aptitude or packages.debian.org.
