I'm running a standard roll-your-own Penitum mid-tower
system with a large 5-pin DIN keyboard, and periodically
while in FreeBSD/XWindows the keyboard just suddenly
fails to work.

Mouse still works o.k. to exit X-Windows, but keyboard
doesn't respond - don't even get numlock/capslock lights.

I work mostly in X-Windows, so I'm not sure if it's valid
to point out that:

a) This never happens when the machine is in Win95 mode.
b) This never happens when the machine is in unix command-prompt mode.

Any ideas?

- Allan
