Maybe some problem with the keymapping. What is your KEYMAP setting in /etc/rc.conf?

Re: Tab and arrow keys freezes my computer

I meant that the laptop freezes in gdm and in console (tty1). In gdm i can't even type any character. And in console i can login but when i press the tab key (autocompletation) it stops. The only thing i can do is press the power button.

Actually my keymap is es_ES. And i think that it's working fine because the n tilde and pipes work fine.
