I have a Gateway EISA system and have been running 386BSD since
mid-December.  Last night was the first time I have had any keyboard
problems, and even then I did not have to reboot...just terminate that
particular X session.  (The mouse input was still working.)

I was able to log in again and evrything was fine.  No problems.
