It should also be noted that over on ye ol' fedora-list, there
are several people complaining that X locks out their keyboards (both
USB and standard PS/2) if they don't keep their old Xorg.conf files.
One of them is planning to file a BZ report. Look for a bug reported
by Patrick O'Callaghan <pocallaghan(a)gmail.com>.
In fact I ended up adding to an existing bug:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=456680
Note that the original bug was filed against Xorg-1.4.99, which I had no
problems with, but it got me when I updated to Xorg-1.5 (from
updates-testing). The bug seems to be related to the new(ish) evdev
input device handler, which replaces the old kb and mouse handlers and
is set to become standard in F10 according to
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/EvdevInputDriver so I have my
fingers crossed :-)
However AFAIK this doesn't seem related to problems with monitors.
