I don't have a ps/2 port on my port replicator. I have the same keyboard and I only use the USB connector. Works fine in both FreeBSD and Win2k. I just tried kbdcontrol and this is what I get: 11:52 bfoz@darkstar~#kbdcontrol -i < /dev/kbd1 /dev/kbd1: Device not configured. 11:52 bfoz@darkstar~#kbdcontrol -i < /dev/kbd0 /dev/kbd0: Device busy.
