Openbsd 3.8 Keep Key Repeating

[atmanian]

Just installed OpenBSD 3.8 (beta??) in my C3000.
I have set to run xdm.  After I login, I found a problem that
sometime later, the xterm keep repeating key in and I cannot
stop it, some moment later, the X is stopped and return to console login.
But ps aux shows that startx is still running.

If I disable xdm, login with a user a/c and startx, such problem does not
exist.

Manually startx is ok for me, but I prefer xdm and hopefully someone
experts here could help me.
Thanks in advance.

I did exactly that and it did not solve the problem. Another console (ttyC1) keep appearing over X. So I also turned off ttyC1 and it finally solved the problem.

But I do have a question... what if xdm suddently doesn't start anymore. How will I be able to have a working console (both ttyC0 and ttyC1 are off) ?

Ah thanks, I was wondering how to work-around that..

ssh, or boot single-user and edit /etc/ttys. You could even keep a 'ttys.tty-on' file so you don't need to mount the partition with vi or remember how to use ed...
