On a Gateway ML6732 notebook, FreeBSD 9-stable is working great. Video works (i915), sound works, the only thing that isn't quite right is that the first character typed after the FreeBSD kernel loads is lost. After that, it works normally. This makes entering a passphrase more challenging.
These are total shots in the dark: 1. It is entirely normal (and generally thought desirable) for the screensaver to swallow the first character when it is running -- see if this is worth further investigation by changing screensavers or disabling it altogether. 2. check /etc/issue to see if there is a trailing ANSI sequence that might eat a character. -- Lars Eighner http://www.larseighner.com/index.html 8800 N IH35 APT 1191 AUSTIN TX 78753-5266 _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
