man update

Great. Update of the whole portstree finished. (Hardware updates are fun.) But it would be strange when nothing goes wrong. Here's the error-log:
After updating the whole XFree86-Server the keyboard was broken. Every key worked except the "<>|"-key. No idea why. Keyboard configuration in XF86Config was still the same.
An hour later I was told by google, that setxkbmap -rules xfree86 -model pc102 -layout de -option "nodeadkeys" does the job. But why? Why does the normal configuration not work any longer?
Some minutes later I knew that there is a file in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb/ named X0-config.keyboard which contains a pc101 layout. This seems to overwrite every changes in the XF86Config. Changing that to pc102 does the job then.
