for netbsd 0.9, the problem seems to be fixed by adding the following
after the
kbd_mode -a
in startx:
stty -f /dev/vga sane
i haven't had the hanging console for quite some time. if you
have a terminal, and the console locks up, stty -f /dev/vga sane
from the terminal should fix it as well.
at least, that's what a bunch of people have reported, and it works fine for me.
