I find typing 'reset' at the command line stops this nonsense, but I
don't know why the xterm doesn't start up this way.

   Hello Fellow FreeBSD'ers,
   Since an installation or rather an upgrade to 4.2-STABLE, I have been 
   encountering problems with X using xterm's. The problem demonstrates itself 
   when editing files with vi and even when installing apps like mod_php4. It 
   seems to be linked to the up and down scrolling keys. When scrolling up, many 
   times vi goes into insert mode and puts in an A and when scrolling down, it 
   will put in B's and C's. Addtiionally, the number pad keys will not input 
   numbers but rather letters. 

   Has anyone else had this problem? Would anyone know how to correct the 
   symptom?

   In my .xsession I have put the following:
   stty ospeed 38400
   stty ispeed 38400

   Unfortunately the above does not help.

   Thanks in advance for any help with this issue.
