Date: Fri, 6 Feb 2009 08:22:00 -0500 Hello, For what it's worth, I seem to be having similar problems on FreeBSD 7.1-RELEASE-p2. In my case; however, I can use the mouse (a generic PS/2 style wheel mouse) but the keyboard beeps and sends random characters (mostly "d"'s...lots of them). I _am_ able to hit CTRL-ALT-F1 to escape out of the X Server and kill it. The keyboard works fine in console mode, and no O/S level panicks or crashes so far. I'm kind-of bummed that X is broken since this is my primary workstation. I guess I'll be using my laptop running Windows XP until this is sorted out. Thankfully the TightVNC server works fine, so I can access my X desktop via the TightVNC client on my notebook and still get work done. Good luck to the guys/gals who are (hopefully) busy fixing this. -- David C.
