Greetings, I have an electronic KVM that I want to use to switch between my crappy system, and my FreeBSD system. The keyboard and mouse work fine on my crappy system, but, on the FreeBSD system, they work fine on startup, but after switching back and forth only once, the mouse (LED mouse) starts flashing, and the keyboard only works intermittently. After reading a bit on the newsgroups/mailing lists, I added "flags 0x100" to the "device psm0" line in the kernel, and recompiled it, but that did not fix the problem. Then, I added the optional 9V adapter to the KVM, but that also did not fix the problem. Is there something I am missing, or does FreeBSD just not work with a KVM? I'm using FreeBSD 4.7-Release-p3. The two different KVMs (both create the same problem) are a Belkin OmniView SE, and a StarTech StarView. Regards, Justin P.
