FreeBSD fuzz.socal.rr.com 4.7-RELEASE FreeBSD 4.7-RELEASE #3: Sun Jun 8 11:47:48 PDT 2003 root@fuzz.socal.rr.com:/usr/src/sys/compile/FUZZ i386 I installed FreeBSD on this machine which came with a USB keyboard and mouse. The keyboard has problems, and for various reasons, I'd like to replace it with a PS/2 keyboard. Only problem is I can't figure out how to do it. Getting a PS/2 mouse running was easy through sysinstall. Just plugging in the new keyboard did not work. After searching the web and mailing lists, I thought that recompiling the kernel with the following lines would work: # atkbdc0 controls both the keyboard and the PS/2 mouse device atkbdc0 at isa? port IO_KBD device atkbd0 at atkbdc? irq 1 # flags 0x1 device psm0 at atkbdc? irq 12 I commented out the flag 0x1 and recompiled and rebooted. That did not work either. As of now the only way I can see to get the PS/2 keyboard working is to reinstall. That seems like overkill. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks Gary Schenk
