>Description:
startx launch a X server but the keyboard is not working at all. After exiting
from X (e.g. by killing X from an ssh session) the console display some
gibberish characters... and all return to normal.
in the custom kernel config I have:
device atkbdc # AT keyboard controller
device atkbd # AT keyboard
options ATKBD_DFLT_KEYMAP # specify the built-in keymap
makeoptions ATKBD_DFLT_KEYMAP="be.iso"
device sc
options MAXCONS=4 # number of virtual consoles
options SC_HISTORY_SIZE=800 # number of history buffer lines
and in /etc/rc.conf.local I have:
keymap="be.iso" # keymap in /usr/share/syscons/keymaps/* (or NO).
font8x8="iso-8x8" # font 8x8 from /usr/share/syscons/fonts/* (or NO).
I upgrade from 6.0-RELEASE to STABLE and from Xorg 6.8.2 to 6.9.0 to no avail.

>How-To-Repeat:
>Fix:
I delete options MAXCONS and SC_HISTORY_SIZE from sc, rebuild the kernel
and the problem vanished :-)
