It works OK, except for one thing: every once in a while (while in X), the keyboard locks up. I can still use the mouse, exit X, and then it works again, although I once could not send signals (^C, ^\, ^Z) via the keyboard anymore after exiting X this way. I used to run 386bsd 0.1 + pk, and XFree 1.2, and things worked OK then, so the problem must be either in NetBSD 0.9, or XFree 1.3. I don't think there are any oddities in my setup: - mouse on /dev/tty00 - this in /etc/ttys: console "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" pc3 off secure vga "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" pc3 on secure - this is /dev/vga, /dev/console: crw------- 1 root tty 12, 0 Sep 18 15:21 /dev/vga crw------- 1 root tty 0, 0 Sep 18 15:20 /dev/console (am running X as root) The only problem I can remember that I ever had with my keyboard, is that earlier versions of codrv locked up the keyboard when booting. Later versions fixed this, however. Of course, I am now no longer using codrv, just the plain pccons from NetBSD (oh yeah, I #undef'ed FAT_CURSOR in it :)) Does anybody have any idea what might be going wrong here?
