This happens with both the x.org and xfree86-4 X systems. It did not orignally happen with the xorg port shipped with 5.3, but started happening once I upgraded to xorg-6.8.1. Going back to the xorg shipped with 5.3 after that failed to fix the problem. >How-To-Repeat: Build a kernel with MAXCONS=4. Boot on that kernel, and start X. Note that the keyboard quits functioning. >Fix: No known fix. The workaround is to not specify MAXCONS in the kernel config file. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
