I run a recent NetBSD-current on a 90 mHz Pentium with an Intel
Neptune motherboard. After I run xfree86 3.1.2 for about 20 minutes,
the keyboard stops working. The caps-lock light will toggle when I
press caps-lock up (so there's power), but that's about it. If I
re-start X, the keyboard works again. I have an ATI WinTurbo video
card.

This also happens under 3.1.2B. And on a more recent Triton
motherboard. And with NetBSD-current from August.

Any ideas what might be wrong?
