I'm using XFree86 on a 386/40 with NetBSD, and when I use xdm it does some
weird things.  The most consistent and annoying is dropping characters from
the keyboard when I am typing.  I'm having to hit about every key twice to
type this right now.

Also sometimes CAPS WILL LOCK ON, and when I exit sometimes my screen is
a real mess.  Letters doubled and missing, half letters, the left half
of the screen on the right.  

Can I solve these problems?

-John
