 Even when the above problem happens, you should still be able to login
 to the system via network.  Please login to the system in that way and
 get /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/xdm-errors and output from `dmesg', and
 send them to me for examination.
 
 Would you also show me your kernel configuration file and /etc/ttys,
 please?
 
 A couple of more questions:
 
 Do you have the splash screen preloaded by the boot loader?
 
 Did you have the same problem before?

 Hi there,
 
 I've tried unsuccessfully to reproduce this problem on a 4.0-CURRENT
 (today) machine running XFree86-3.3.3.1 .
 
 Three questions:
 
 1) Are you sure /dev/ttyva exists?
 
 2) Are you sure you followed the instructions at
    http://www.freebsd.org/~yokota/sc_update.txt for switching to the new
    console and keyboard drivers?
 
 If you can't upgrade to a recent CURRENT and the latest XFree86-3.3.3.1,
 then go ahead and send us the information Kazu asked you for... dmesg
 output and the contents of xdm-errors.
 
 If you're not having a problem any more, please let us know what you did
 to fix the problem so that we can close your problem report.
 
 Ciao,
 Sheldon.
