: is there some well known gotcha with vt0 console driver in the kernel,
: getty on ttyv1, and XDM based X login? I'm loosing kbd input and can't
: work out why. 

: before I drop back to pc0 and even disable getty on the console, is
: there something I should try?

That's pretty much it.  Turn off the console (in /etc/ttys).  It is
competing with the X server for your input.  It would probably be a
good idea to have some other way to log in in case X gets stuck.
