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.
