I have some problems to get the X386 binary kit running on my PC.

1) When I start the X-server with xdm (login: root), the keyboard reacts

2) When starting with xinit (login: root), the keyboard locks up totally,  
the mouse is running fine.

server running. Could this concern my problem ???? By the way: I built a  
/dev/vga with mknod vga c 12 0....
