>Description:
startx launch a X server but the keyboard is not working at all. After exiting
from X (e.g. by killing X from an ssh session) the console display some
gibberish characters... and all return to normal.

in the custom kernel config I have:

device      atkbdc          # AT keyboard controller
device      atkbd           # AT keyboard
options     ATKBD_DFLT_KEYMAP       # specify the built-in keymap
makeoptions ATKBD_DFLT_KEYMAP="be.iso"

device      sc
options     MAXCONS=4       # number of virtual consoles
options     SC_HISTORY_SIZE=800     # number of history buffer lines

and in /etc/rc.conf.local I have:

keymap="be.iso"         # keymap in /usr/share/syscons/keymaps/* (or NO).
font8x8="iso-8x8"       # font 8x8 from /usr/share/syscons/fonts/* (or NO).

I upgrade from 6.0-RELEASE to STABLE and from Xorg 6.8.2 to 6.9.0 to no avail.

>How-To-Repeat:

>Fix:
I delete options MAXCONS and SC_HISTORY_SIZE from sc, rebuild the kernel
and the problem vanished :-)
