I just installed OpenBSD 4.0-stable on a Sun x4100 server. The server has
an IPMI virtual console accessed remotely via a Java application which
pretends to be a USB keyboard/mouse.
While I had no problems with the virtual console during the installation
process, once the actual operating system was installed, every keypress on
the virtual console results in the message "uhidev0: bad input length 8 != 0"
being displayed.
Other than the message being displayed, the keyboard seems to be working
fine. I removed the following code from uhidev.c, which removed the
message logging. As far as I can tell, the keyboard works fine under the
virtual console, although I haven't tested the mouse emulation. I guess
there's just something weird about the USB emulation. No functional
problems, but if whoever maintains the USB driver is interested in figuring
it out, I could test patches...
#ifdef DIAGNOSTIC
if (scd->sc_in_rep_size != cc)
printf("%s: bad input length %d != %d\n",USBDEVNAME(sc->sc_dev),
scd->sc_in_rep_size, cc);
#endif
