Hi,
	Since I opened this thread, I will also post my solution to the
problem. rich@pi.rice.edu said that the problem most likely were due
to a getty or something reading the console as well as X. Well it wasn't
getty but csh, I had started X the following way (pilot error in other words):

	startx >& /tmp/xout &

I have used the last couple of days without a hitch, so that seems to have
been the problem.

	When it comes to my erase character problem, it seems that if I do
a:

	stty sane
	stty erase ^h

the problem is taken care of. 

	Thanks to everyone responding.


	Sincerely,

	Lars Fredriksen
