Unfortunately there are big problems: - in order for usb to work in bsd I need to disable support for usb mouse/keyboard in BIOS, if I do that I loose my (minimal) usb support in Linux which runs on the same machine. - also as of 3.3 unplugging usb keyboard/mouse kills them for good. I need that (essential) functionality since I share the monitor mouse and keyboard between the PC box and a PPC box. My question is: does the latest version have proper usb support and if so where can I get a cd of it? Downloading is out of the question since I have a 56k modem. Another comment I want to make is in reference to the "stability" of Gnome which as of 3.3 which is inexistent. Do the more recent versions show any improvement?
