Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii X-Mailer: Mutt 0.93.2i Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG xdm/XFree 3.3.3.1 is driving me mad. I use xdm, and about two thirds of the time, it comes up with a dead keyboard. The mouse continues to function, and xconsole keeps dutifully outputting messages. Lots of the time, I can do blind login as root, and reboot the machine. sometimes not. Its as if X doesn't successfully grab the keyaboard. Sometime the keyboard even goes hard dead, (no numlock activity) and I have to hard reset the machine. I did try the Xfree pages. I've also tried using kbd_mode, but to no avail. Any Ideas? perhaps turning off UCONSOLE? Machine is a Tyan 1564D Pentium, running 3.2-Stable. This problem goes all the way back to 3.0-RELEASE, tho its especially bad right now.
