>Description:
If you have a script which exits after starting X (which prevents people from control-C'ing startx to grab your shell) then I believe the getty on that virtual terminal and X (also apparently started on that virtual terminal) fight for input.
>How-To-Repeat:
On your first virtual terminal, startx & exit. This brings up X and you should be experiencing the getty and X fighting for input, causing keystrokes to be lost. Curiously, if you switch to your second virtual terminal, it contains part of the output from the first virtual terminal. Very weird.
