Hi all,

I do not know, if this is related to this error, but this is , what I found
out:

in file /etc/X11/Xinit


wrong paths set. Alle paths and environments are pointing to 

/usr/X11R6/lib/X11 

but these are complete old and non existened since the switched to Xorg.
During my try and errors I ccould find out, that the option "-mouse tslib" is
the reason for the wrong psition of the xserver (portrait/landscape). 

Remark: Staring X without the  gpe-dm script from the command line and(!) using
the option "-mouse tslib" is working fine ! What I mean is someting similar
like "Xfvb 640x480 at 270 -mouse tslib" (sorry, forgot the correct command, but
you will know what I mean)

I discovered, too, that the packages xserver-common and xserver-kdrive-common
will overwrite each other files (when you allow it with the option
-force-overwrite). But it seems, both are needed, as both are installed by
default. If you install xserver-common later than xserver-kdrive-common, then X
is starting correctly (landscape), but no mouse is working. Adding the option
"-mouse tslib" into the akita-section in /etc/X11/Xserver, it will start no
more correctly. 

Summary: Please correct the paths in the packages of xserver-common for the
file /etc/X11/Xinit. If you do, keyboard input will work. Maybe other bugs will
be eliminated with this, too.

I hope, my other descriptions might help to find this bug, too.

Just my 2 cents....

Regards

Hans
