>Description:
	After launching X on a system built wiht a MAXCONS kernel
	option set, the console keyboard quits functioning. This
	happens with both the x.org and xfree86-4 X systems. It did
	not orignally happen with the xorg port shipped with 5.3, but
	started happening once I upgraded to xorg-6.8.1. Going back to
	the xorg shipped with 5.3 after that failed to fix the
	problem.
	
>How-To-Repeat:

	Build a kernel with MAXCONS=4. Boot on that kernel, and start
	X. Note that the keyboard quits functioning.

>Fix:

	No known fix. The workaround is to not specify MAXCONS in the
	kernel config file.
