Hi,
A couple of weeks ago I asked:

Regrettably, I haven't been able to solve the problem. I received
around 20 replies, almost all suggesting that I should use kbd_mode -a.
That was Sun's suggestion as well. I should have stated that I had
already tried that. I also forgot to mention that the X mouse pointer
stays on the screen after the longin prompt are presented.
The local Axil distributor told me he had seen the problem before, and
that he thought it was a bug in the MIT X server, or in Sun's
screenblank.
I have removed screenblank to see if that's the cause, and I will
compile a more recent version of X and see if that will help.
