Taking a closer look, I'm wondering if it is the xkeyboard-config
package that is reading xorg.conf. Installing this seems a bit at odds
with what I've been able to dig up about xserver-kdrive. I also noticed
the beagleboard.conf in meta-ti use xserver-xorg, not kdrive.

With that information, I'm building a new image using the XSERVER
preferences from the meta-ti beagleboard conf.

Any objections to moving beagleboard to xserver-xorg instead of kdrive?
I'd like us not to diverge from meta-ti without a very good reason.
