I noticed that  libxkbfile1 is built, so I loaded on my device.  But I
can't see any evidence the Xfbdev is using it with strace, and it does
not change the operation.

current using: xserver-kdrive-fbdev - 1:1.4.0.90-r1

The last build I have where USB keyboard works is:
xserver-kdrive-fbdev - 1:1.3.0.0-r19

I don't see any libxbd files installed with xfbdev 1.3.

Thanks,
Cliff
