     This is "normal".  Ignore it.

     You're running xinit from the console (alt-F1), right?  If you are,
run it from another virtual console.  If you must run it from the
console, run xinit and bang on alt-F2, alt-F3, etc. until you can type
something (if you are running on the console, X chooses to take input
from *one* of the virtual consoles instead, and you can't type anything
until you select that virtual console -- ugh).
