One person suggested that you put an 'stty -f /dev/vga sane' after the kbd_mode -a command in startx. Another suggested that you kill the last thing started in .xinitrc as the last thing you do in startx. My problem is that, if I use the SYSCONS driver, after entering X, my keyboard is dead. The suggestions listed above are only valid for me if I use the PCCONS driver. At least then, my keyboard is dead after I exit X and not during. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Michael C.
