(window manager menus pop up, > random characters appear on my xterm, etc.) Me too, though this is the first time I've been up to date with -current in a few months. I usually just get my olvwm menu popping up in the top right corner, but sometimes I get a random cut and paste into an xterm on the way. :-( > >This problem showed up in the last 2 weeks, but I had other > >modifications on my system that I blamed it on.

I also made another change when I brought myself up to date: adding the pt0 device; I took that out and the problem is less frequent, but still there - probably a coincidence? I may just have had more system activity yesterday (ppp0 internal modem connection running at 33k6 solid for 12 hours and a make World for XFree86). I upgraded from XFree86 3.1.2G (binary release) to 3.2 (from source) subsequently - no change. Sometimes my system gets into a state where the ALT key seems to be locked on. Usually it's better if I switch to a text vt and back, but I've also seen the text vt get confused. dmesg output available if it might be useful. ASUS T2P4, Pentium/133, 64MB, AHA2940UW (narrow Hawk attached), NCR810 (scanner, 2xCD, QIC, all mainly idle), EIDE drive (DOS, idle), SMC 9332 (mostly idle), sound card (active, but just pass-through from my walkman...); external serial ports disabled in BIOS.
