Lane, latest update of X11-xkb-utils solved this. But of course, it 
would be no help if one cannot boot in, even to the recovery console, to 
do the upgrade. So, if you are still having the same problem booting up, 
append "nouveau.modeset=0" to the linux line at grub and boot up to do 
the upgrade.

Did not reply earlier as there were many replies and I thought there 
would at least be an answer and it would be impertinent of me to jump in.


Good luck - Goh Lip
