I couldn't remember enough about it to find it in the list archives. In any case, I at least want to say "me too". On my -current system, after rebooting, the keyboard was in a funny state (all 4 LEDs were turned on. My keyboard also has an internal click mechanism, which was no longer functional) I plugged the keyboard into another machine at that point, and it reset itself and worked fine on that machine. Plugging it back into the -current box, however, produced the same results as before. Fearing incompatibility, I dug out an old AT keyboard and plugged it in. No LEDs lit, and also no response from keypresses (including the obvious escape characters). The machine didn't hang... console message were still being displayed. I ended up rebooting the thing remotely, and after that, the keyboard functioned normally. If somebody can tell me what else to check, I can try and provide a few mroe details. -- Ryan Thompson Systems Administrator, Accounts Phone: +1 (306) 664-1161 SaskNow Technologies http://www.sasknow.com #106-380 3120 8th St E Saskatoon, SK S7H 0W2 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
