Re: OpenBSD 4.1 amd64 - X11 problems

For me it turns out to be completely unuseable. The keyboard driver is
sending continuesly 'k' characters to the xterm, the whole startup of
X11 takes two minutes (on an AthlonX2 4400) and after this it is also
extremely slow.

I'd try a different keyboard and see if it makes a difference. I
suspect bad hardware.

Worst of all, it seems that network is also not working anymore (maybe
a problem with my hardware) but i can't login via ssh and just kill
the OS.

"it is not working anymore". Not even close to enough information to
offer anything like useful feedback. Assuming your keyboard and/or
the keyboard controller is already failing, it is not a great leap
from there to "hey, your network circuitry is dying as well".

At the very least *try* to do some basic debugging steps, then maybe
somebody will be able to help.
