Hi,

I have some problems with FreeBSD 2.2.1-R and XFree86 3.2.

The PC is an old EISA bus 486DX-33, only ISA cards installed Trident
TVGA8900D, NE2000 clone, 2 serial, 1 modem, 420MB IDE HDD.

FreeBSD runs just fine, have built a custom kernel, no problems.

When X is started via startx, the standard X windows and xclock are
displayed, mouse movement is just fine.

Unfortunately no keyboard input is accepted and no errors are generated.
The machine requires a reset and reboot.

This problem occurs with a custom kernel and the GENERIC kernel and also
with XFree86 3.1.2 and 3.2.

It seems to have something to do with syscons since a similar problem occus
if I configure a keymap in /etc/sysconfig.  The PC boots with no errors but
stops at the login prompt and no keyboard input is accepted.


Any suggestions would be most appreciated.

Dave
