    Hello,
    I've come across a bit of a snag with X. when i start x nothing i type
    shows up, they all somehow manage to find their way to the console. i can
    start applications like gkrellm, eterm and firefox fine it's just that i
    can't type in them, the console interprets everything as a command of
    course and spits out unknown command messages when i end the x-session. i
    looked at my /etc/ttys and confirmed that i didn't
    mess with it, i didn't do anything weird to x. so i have no idea how to
    even try to start tracking down the problem.
    i'm using the fluxbox window manager. if anyone has come across this
    before or would like more information in helping me track this down please
    let me know.
    yes, i looked at the mailing list archives for freebsd-questions,current,
    and the xfree86 archive also and couldn't find anything similar to this.
    i am running a current build from friday, but strangely enough the problem
    started right before i redid world on friday
    thank you,

    Nathanael Jean-Francois
