helo,

I have:

- FreeBSD psycho 6.1-RELEASE-p1 FreeBSD 6.1-RELEASE-p1 #7: Sun Jun  4 01:09:51 CEST 2006     wirving@psycho:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/MyKernel  i386

- Genius SlimStar Pro USB Keyboard:
uhub2: vendor 0x04b4 product 0x2050, class 9/0, rev 1.10/0.01, addr 2
uhub2: 3 ports with 2 removable, bus powered
ukbd0: vendor 0x0458 ABBHOME, rev 1.10/1.01, addr 3, iclass 3/1
kbd2 at ukbd0

- PS/2 Keyboard:
atkbdc0: <Keyboard controller (i8042)> port 0x60,0x64 irq 1 on acpi0
atkbd0: <AT Keyboard> irq 1 on atkbdc0
kbd0 at atkbd0

- kbdmux:
kbd1 at kbdmux0

(both keyboards are connected at boot)

and i have almost the same problem described in: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-current/2006-April/062354.html
except that this is not CURRENT, i have kbdmux, and there's no /etc/rc.386
(devd is running)


when both keyboards are connected at boot time, the ps/2 works fine, until i type some keys with the usb one. Then nothing works, except both keyboard's numpad. Then i did (via ssh):

psycho# kbdcontrol -i </dev/atkbd0 
/dev/atkbd0: Device busy.
psycho# kbdcontrol -i < /dev/ukbd0 
/dev/ukbd0: Device busy.
psycho# kbdcontrol -i < /dev/kbdmux0 
/dev/kbdmux0: Device busy.
psycho# kbdcontrol -K </dev/console
kbd1
    kbdmux0, type:AT 101/102 (2)
psycho# kbdcontrol -K < /dev/ttyv0
kbd1
    kbdmux0, type:AT 101/102 (2)

and suddenly the PS/2 works again just fine, and the usb keyboard is now properly responding for almost every key except: shift, alt, ctrl. This is kinda annoying ;)

When only the USB keyboard is connected at the boot time, the problem is the same mentioned in freebsd-current list.

I just want the new, fancy USB keyboard to work in console/X(org)/everywhere, don't need both keyboards at the same time.

Thanks, 
   wirving
