Hi,
I am running FreeBSD release 2.1.5 on a Pentium 100Mhz.  I start X on
boot and normally operate in this mode.  I have noticed that if I have
run an X intensive process such as netscape or xv and then switch to
one of the text terminal ( with <clt><alt> F1 for example ) the character
mapping of the keyboard is corrupted.  If the delete key is hit at this
point FreeBSD will reboot. If however I go back to the X screen and then
back to the text terminal the character map returns to normal ( this does 
not always happen ). Typing ^d at the login prompt ( I presume that this 
restarts getty ) will also correct the problem.

Have you come across this problem as yet? Is there a problem with my 
setup? Can you offer a solution to this problem?

Thanks for your support

God Bless

David de Jong
