My keyboard is PS/2, and the mouse (if it matters) is serial/3 button. Sometimes the keyboard freezes, but the machine continues to work normally and can be accessed over the network. The freeze does not happen randomly, most of the times it is caused by pressing Ctrl-Alt-Fn while starting X, without waiting for it to initialize and draw the screen. Surprisingly, Ctrl-Alt-Del still works when the keyboard is frozen, and so does keyboard under X. I feel it is a known issue since there is a program to switch virtual terminals. (Awfulhak.org, Brian's setcon.tgz) My question is: does it happen only on PS/2 machines and if so, why? What can be done to prevent it from happening? Thanks a lot, Andriss ________________________________________ Andriss@ArGate.com http://ArGate.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
