I just noticed a recent development that bothers me...

When I boot and get a login prompt, about two seconds after the prompt
appears, the screen goes blank for a split second, three times. If I am
typing my login name or password during the event, keystrokes are lost.

The only change I made that would coincide with this change is that I
installed the Xwindows distribution, which isn't properly configured to
run as of yet. Does installing Xwindows make changes to /etc/rc or
something to launch at boot time? I made no such changes manually....
