XFree86 from 2.2.7 istalled by sysinstall, using /dev/sysmouse and moused
>Description:
Sometimes Control/Alt does not work in X when pressed for the first time
in a window (like the login window).
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!!)
