HELP w/XFree86 and keyboard in 3.0.1

I recently installed 3.0.1 and the associated XFree86 (xserver.tgz)
binaries, arch=i386.  Things seem to have changed some since 1.5A.

If I start X as root (xinit) things seem to work correctly (at least 
as expected).  However, if I start X as a regular user I can't get 
any input from the keyboard.  Mouse seems to work.

I've included what I think might be relevant information.

   # dmesg|egrep -e'(key|kbd|pck)'  
   wsdisplay0 at vga1 kbdmux 1: console (80x25, vt100 emulation)
   pckbc0 at isa0 port 0x60-0x64
   pckbd0 at pckbc0 (kbd slot)
   pckbc0: using irq 1 for kbd slot
   wskbd0 at pckbd0: console keyboard, using wsdisplay0

Some clues on where I went wrong would be appreciated.
