I am runing 4.0 current SMP.
How recent is it?
The CTL-ALT-Fx problem was discussed and no solution was produced. This is still an open issue. If you shutdown an X session and use CTL-ALT-Fx before X completes resetting the screen and presents the login prompt, the keyboard will lock. This happens every time.
Please describe the exact sequence and symptom. How did you start X? By xdm? How did you "shutdown" the X sesssion? When the keyboard is looked up, which vty are you in? Do NumLock, CapsLock and ScrollLock change LED state? If you try to switch to another vty by hitting ALT-Fx, do you here beep? Would you hit ALT-Fx several times to see if it makes any difference?
After a long sequence, the answer to the question of how to start X was to set /etc/ttys as I said earlier and start xdm in /usr/local/etc/rc.d/<whatever>.sh.
I switched to this mechanism and have not had a problem since.
Has the "correct" way to start X changed back to using rc.local or /etc/ttys?
Some people like /etc/ttys. Other people prefer rc.local or /usr/local/etc/rc*. Me? I don't care which is "correct", so long as it works. Well, maybe I should think harder to decide which is more "correct"...
