"You know, I think I can hear the machine screaming from here...  \
'help me! hellpp meeee!'"  - Heather Flanagan, 14:52:23 Wed Jun 10 1998
>Environment:
System: NetBSD tesseract.neutralgood.org 1.5.2 NetBSD 1.5.2 (TESSERACT) #25: Fri Nov 2 22:36:26 EST 2001 kpneal@pobox.com:/local/kernel/compile/TESSERACT alpha


>Description:

I have an AlphaStation 200 with a vanilla IBM-branded PS/2-style keyboard.
When I start XalphaNetBSD (for use with a TGA board) the screen goes
to black characters on white background and then the X server crashes
and dumps core. The problem is a NULL pointer deref in the keyboard
initialization code.

>How-To-Repeat:

Use above described machine. Start XalphaNetBSD. Now attempt to
get your shell back before going blind from the colors left onscreen
by the crash of the X server.

>Fix:

Some better error detection would be a bonus. Anyway, in directory
xsrc/xc/programs/Xserver/hw/netbsd/alpha apply this patch:
