Hello, I've come across a bit of a snag with X. when i start x nothing i type shows up, they all somehow manage to find their way to the console. i can start applications like gkrellm, eterm and firefox fine it's just that i can't type in them, the console interprets everything as a command of course and spits out unknown command messages when i end the x-session. i looked at my /etc/ttys and confirmed that i didn't mess with it, i didn't do anything weird to x. so i have no idea how to even try to start tracking down the problem. i'm using the fluxbox window manager. if anyone has come across this before or would like more information in helping me track this down please let me know. yes, i looked at the mailing list archives for freebsd-questions,current, and the xfree86 archive also and couldn't find anything similar to this. i am running a current build from friday, but strangely enough the problem started right before i redid world on friday thank you, Nathanael Jean-Francois
