3.0-Current as at around 19981206 0000 UTC, running on HP KAYAK XA (PII-400). I previously reported odd keyboard freezes on the virtual console when I enabled softupdates. Since then I've been running with softupdates code in the kernel but not enabled for any partition. I just experienced another strange keyboard hang. I've got X3.3.3 installed and xdm enabled in /etc/ttys so at boot it pops up an XDM on vt7 but I can ctl-alt-Fn to get a login on other vts. Then something broke. Ctl-Alt-Fn stopped working (it beeped). Everything was working fine inside X, but I couldn't get out of it. Eventually, I killed the xdm and dropped back to vt0. At that point I was stuffed: "ordinary" keys produced no effect at all, and any of the Alt-Fn keys just produced a beep. Only way out was the three-finger salute. I'd like to be able to help sort this out if anyone can give me hints what to look for! Greg.
