Fellow seekers, I have a 2-port USB KVM (MiniGear G-CS-102U), connected to a Power Mac G4 on one port, and an HP Pavilion 7915 running FreeBSD 4.6-STABLE/GENERIC (I used my kernel briefly, then switched back to GENERIC) on the other. The HP came with a PS/2 keyboard and mouse, but I'd like to use the Mac's Apple Extended USB Keyboard and XLR8 Point&Scroll mouse to save desk space. Unfortunately, my USB mouse is misbehaving, and my USB keyboard isn't doing anything at all, aside from appearing on the bus. Mouse protocol is set to auto on /dev/sysmouse. >FreeBSD guest.reppep.com 4.6-STABLE FreeBSD 4.6-STABLE #3: Sun Jul 7 02:08:43 EDT 2002 root@guest.reppep.com:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC i386 >[guest:~] root# grep usb /etc/rc.conf >usbd_enable="YES" >[guest:~] root# grep mouse /etc/rc.conf >moused_enable="YES" >moused_port="/dev/sysmouse" >moused_type="auto" >uhci0: <Intel 82801AA (ICH) USB controller> port 0x1080-0x109f irq 11 at device 31.2 on pci0 >usb0: <Intel 82801AA (ICH) USB controller> on uhci0 >usb0: USB revision 1.0 >uhub0: Intel UHCI root hub, class 9/0, rev 1.00/1.00, addr 1 >uhub0: 2 ports with 2 removable, self powered >uhub1: Texas Instruments TUSB2046 hub, class 9/0, rev 1.10/1.25, addr 2 >uhub1: 4 ports with 4 removable, self powered >uhub2: Mitsumi Electric Hub in Apple Extended USB Keyboard, class 9/0, rev 1.10/1.22, addr 3 >uhub2: 3 ports with 2 removable, bus powered >ukbd0: Mitsumi Electric Apple Extended USB Keyboard, rev 1.10/1.22, addr 4, iclass 3/1 >kbd1 at ukbd0 >uhid0: Mitsumi Electric Apple Extended USB Keyboard, rev 1.10/1.22, addr 4, iclass 3/0 >ums0: Primax Electronics product 0x4d03, rev 1.00/4.41, addr 5, iclass 3/1 >ums0: 3 buttons and Z dir. Whenever the USB mouse is connected, after it's been probed, the mouse cursor flickers and jumps around. It moves left and down much faster than up and right, so tends to hover in the lower-left corner. I do not have XFree86 working on this system; this is in console mode, and in fact I can see control characters flashing, as if the charset's getting switched, under the mouse cursor. I can stop and restart the flickering with vidcontrol -m, but I haven't been able to make it work properly. I tried disconnecting all PS/2 and USB devices, shutting down, and connecting only a Logitech USB Wheel Mouse, and the Logitech showed the same flickering/jumping behavior. What am I doing wrong, and how can I fix this? Has anyone gotten the Apple Extended USB Keyboard working in FreeBSD? Do I really need to rebuild the kernel with "options KBD_INSTALL_CDEV" (not present in LINT) per <http://www.FreeBSD.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/faq/hardware.html#USBKBD>; before the keyboard will work? I'm not sure if this is as dated as the stuff that says all the USB modules must be compiled into the kernel -- they seem to load automatically as needed for the most part. Again, I tried removing all PS/2 & USB devices, connecting just the keyboard, and booting. I found "Legacy USB Support" in my PhoenixBIOS 6, and fiddled with it. In Disabled mode, I can't do anything at all with the keyboard. With Legacy USB support set to Auto or Enabled, I can use the USB keyboard to hit Return or an FKey at the slice selector. I *cannot* stop the 10-second kernel countdown via USB, but if I stop it with the PS/2 keyboard, and Legacy support is Auto or Enabled, I can type boot, or whatever, at the loader command line. How can I get the USB keyboard fully functional in FreeBSD (including slice selection and single-user mode)?
