Whoa. Maybe this isn't a hardware problem. I noticed that my keyboard would
lock up on me either when I first booted up and tried to log in through xdm when I
had the following set wrong.
/etc/ttys
ttyE4 "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" vt220 on secure
/etc/X11/xdm/Xservers
:0 local /usr/X11R6/bin/X vt05
As you can see, I was running getty on the same vt that I was also trying to
run
xdm on. After changing /etc/X11/xdm/Xservers to the following,
:0 local /usr/X11R6/bin/X vt08
I havn't had a lock up again. Of course maybe the problem is only
NetBSD-1.5.2
specific, but it's worth a shot.
