Umm, I think I have just one keyboard. But at the time of the error
message the keyboard probably wasn't connected, being USB and with my
bad USB active extension cable, which needs to be unplugged and
replugged after each boot to detect the devices on it.

So it's one-display-no-keyboard case. It works fine with 2.4.14-ruby.
