   I have the same problem with NetBSD 1.1 on a 486DX2/66.
   XFree86 locks up the keyboard immediately when started.
   However, all processes are active, mouse reponse is very good,
   but the darn keyboard just won't work.
[...]
   Is this a known bug in NetBSD1.1? or XFree86 3.x.x?
   I would like to know if I need to move on to NetBSD-current.

   This doesn't happen with I run Linux with X. :)

It doesn't happen when I run NetBSD, either.

It only happens with a very limited combination of motherboards and
keyboards.  You should probably send mail to port-i386@NetBSD.org
about it and see if anyone can help.
