Hi, after succesfully installing XFree, some time ago, my machine now
has enough memory to be able to use it a normal way. I put:
nohup /usr/bin/X11/xdm in my rc. 
All works fine, but whne I logout and dont login for a few hours, then
my keyboard doesnt seeem to work anymore. I didnt look (yet) if you even
cant't logon from other systems..
I also experienced that when I start x with startx, then after finishing,
the console still works, but you dont get to see anything on it. Do I have
to run some kind of program to put the console back or so?
