When running X the keyboard will eventually hang. The time until this
happens is varying, I have not found a action from the user that might
cause it.

When running of the normal PC-console. The console will sometimes get
into a state where it does not accept control sequences (something
like TIOCTRL). This I have found normally happens just after a write
by syslogd. After this have happened I cannot run more, vi or emacs.
Logging out and logging in againg "cures" the problem though.. 8).

I thought that maybe syslogd is what causes the keyboard hangs in X as well.

I am running NetBSD-0.9 and XFree86-1.3 (386BSD version).
PC is ISA, IDE, SCSI.

Any thoughts?
