Seems to appear when running xdm (either manually or from ttys) but not when runnung thru startx. When using PCVT instead of syscons the problem seems not to appear. >How-To-Repeat: 1) logout under X, then try CTRL-ALT-F1 on the login screen. Result: acts like return. Press CTRL-ALT-F1 a second time - then you're at virtual screen #1 (happens ALLWAYS!!) 2) start emacs anew, type c-x c-f. Result: you get xf in the *scratch* buffer. (happens RARELY!!) 3) Go to a xterm-window, type CTRL-d. Result: d in the command line (Happens MORE OFTEN!!) >Fix: unknown >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
