Do you have kbdmux in your kernel? If you don't have it, switching to "the other" keyboard is needed to be issued from the AT keyboard (if present), using the kbdcontrol program. Kernel configuration should contain: options KBD_INSTALL_CDEV # install a CDEV entry in /dev # atkbdc0 controls both the keyboard and the PS/2 mouse device kbdmux # keyboard multiplexer device atkbdc # AT keyboard controller device atkbd # AT keyboard options ATKBD_DFLT_KEYMAP makeoptions ATKBD_DFLT_KEYMAP=german.iso # USB support stuff here... device ukbd # Keyboard options UKBD_DFLT_KEYMAP makeoptions UKBD_DFLT_KEYMAP=german.iso If I remember correctly, most of the important lines are part of the GENERIC kernel configuration. On my system, I can't use the USB keyboard in CMOS setup or at the loader, but it works as soon as the kernel has finished loading, so when the boot process has enabled the single user mode, the USB keyboard is usable. For loader-related things, I still have to keep a PS/2 AT keyboard handy. -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
