It may be the classical problem of a getty process and the X server
fighting for keyboard input on the same virtual console.

How do you start X ? Are you using xdm ?
Check you /etc/ttys and /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/Xservers files. The vt
specified in Xservers for X should not have a getty enabled in
/etc/ttys. 

Hope this helps.
