And I still would like to know if its my keyboard that is out of sync with the USB spec since it will add letters when I write like . "This should read like this" but can end up like "Thisi should reaed likek this" Thanks Peter ----- Original Message ----- From: "Andre Guibert de Bruet" To: "Peter" Cc: Sent: Sunday, October 19, 2003 5:08 PM Subject: Re: USB Keyboard questions > > On Sat, 18 Oct 2003, Peter wrote: > > > I have been trying to install FreeBSD 5.1 with a Logitech USB > > keyboard.
