This has probably been discussed many times already, but I just
cannot find any relevant advice on the net.

On 8.0-beta2 i386 with intel 845M chip and xf86-video-intel-2.7.1

when I try to login into xdm login prompt, the login and passwd
are accepted, I get a black screen for a second and then I get
back again to the xdm login prompt.

In /var/log/xdm.log I get

	(EE) XKB: No components provided for device Virtual core keyboard 

I've updated to full x11/xorg port. All my ports are up to date.

My xorg.conf is below.

Please advise

many thanks
