I think this problem is different than mine.

In a console I think the defined keyboard is either wrong or broken.
I get in a console as root at the command line as I type.  On the right 
side of the screen as an extension of the typed line a whole bunch of 
brightly colored blocks with random characters in the blocks.  They seem 
to appear after hitting the back space key or delete key and then the 
text editing is not displayed correctly.  Yast2 shows the keyboard to be 
a "english-us, pc-104", and vga=0x318
This problem is in openSuSE 11.2 RC2 and has never been seen before.  No 
problem with the keyboard is seen in "X"
