Thanks to all who have responded thus far. I still don't think we have an
explanation as to what is happening. In my mind, the following is evidence
against a getty conflict.

1. the problem is delayed if rc.local is put to sleep. During that time I
can alt-ctrl-f1 to ttyv1. I can stay there all day if I want with no
probs., so it doesn't seem that the X server is trying to grab it.
However, as soon as I switch back to ttyv3, the keyboard is locked.

2. If I abandon the rc script method of starting xdm and instead declare

ttyv3 "/usr/X11R6/bin/xdm -nodaemon" xterm on secure

I still get the problem. In that case, I don't see how getty could cause a
conflict.

I'm really clueless here! (but learning alot at least)
-Rich
