(We have experienced both problems in ... or the keyboard controller on my motherboard is hosed. Further testing shows that the NumLock state changes causes freezing outside of FreeBSD. I didn't know what I was testing for before, but now I do. I also tried my trusty FreeBSD 4.3-RELEASE install CD. The keyboard locked up there too, and it has *never* done that before. Me thinks my 4 month old ABIT KT7-RAID is broken. Trying another, totally different, keyboard caused the same problems. Thanks for your time! I guess I'll have to persue this with ABIT and not FreeBSD. Hopefully they'll replace the thing since the dealer warranty is expired. -- Sean Kelly | PGP KeyID: 77042C7B smkelly@zombie.org | http://www.zombie.org For PGP key, send e-mail with subject "send pgp key" [-- Attachment #2 --] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQE7dt8P2aukpHcELHsRArkqAJwPxzLqOnFUh/2PQ6MmFNhmPxfNbQCfWxFQ s2zQehfNFwjjlXhE8ZGX3qY= =DwKO -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----help
