No.

The symptoms decribed by Wouter look like the known problem that arises 
when X picks up a VT on which a getty process is attached too. Then the 
2 processes (the X server and getty) are fighting to get keyboard input 
and it produces either a sluggish keyboard or a total lockup, depending 
on luck.

This can arise in 2 situations:

- without xdm if all your VTs have a getty process active
- with xdm started from rc.local if /etc/X11/xdm/Xservers fails to 
specify a free VT on the command line, because xdm will generally start 
up before init spwans getty processes and so the VT picked up by X will 
run a getty process later.

One last question: you both have more than one screen create in 
/etc/wscons.conf?
