Hy,

I can confirm your problem for FreeBSD 5.4 amd64-RC3 and I got the same 
problem with a Linux 2.6.8 on an ASUS-Laptop.

Unfortunately I've no good solution but I'm fairly sure that the problem is 
related to the X.org and not the OS.
I think there's something wrong in the communication between the keyboard 
driver of the OS and the X server and (on my machines) it always apeared only 
when booting directly into X running xdm from inittab or /etc/rc.d.

I figured out that booting to command line and then starting X manually (by 
typing xdm on a root shell) will not cause the problem.

Regards,
bh
