Heya..

First of all, thanks for your reply.. but yet, I don't have any "flags 0x01" on the
atkbd line..

-snip-
# atkbdc0 controls both the keyboard and the PS/2 mouse
device          atkbdc          # AT keyboard controller
device          atkbd           # AT keyboard
#device         psm             # PS/2 mouse
-snip-

Regards,
Jesper Wallin
