    Not so far as I've checked Jeff. I normally run x here and the
    console is basicly for emergencies in my mindset.

    I'm not seeing that, and its more than occasionally missing a keypress
    I know darned well I hit. ATM its not doing it, but then I'm
    rebooted to -rc4 due to instability in final. I've canceled an
    option I had set in the -finals .config, and a fresh copy is making
    now. So we'll be able to go back to testing -final in a short.

    I can't say as I've ever noticed it from the first 6 vt's.
