Keyboard not responding

Using the latest cvs, but it happens also with the 0.7 stable version, after
pressing [Enter] or [Esc] the keyboard stop responding and I have to kill
the X Server.
If I kill only myth application, keyboard still doesn't answer to keypress
(tested on xterm).

I start directly xinit and then start setup (or whatever module).

I read this is a common problem, I found others posting the same questions,
but nobody answer.

An addition... if I use a display manager, like gnome, the keyboard is
always ok, but it can be very nice to use xinit directly.

This is not a "common problem". You need to have a window manager running to
manage keyboard focus.
