The point is rather that this is not a long-term solution. This 'keyboard' driver is scheduled to go away in next major release and so enabling it will of course be no longer possible. What is needed is to get the new 'kbd' driver to work (and this is where I failed). Furthermore, the old keyboard driver also doesn't work out of the box - in ports there is a patch that is also submitted to bugzilla: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1722 However, I see now that there seems to be similar bug at: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2587 This seems to be the same issue. If you could followup on that bug explaining that the same issue exists on FreeBSD, that would be great. Dejan
