I can give an example: I have a KVM (Connectpro BA-12P, can't remember the name of OEM now) installed with UnixWare machines which mostly works but when I exit from KDB (the UW kernel debugger) the keyboard hangs. Disconnecting and re-connecting the physical keyboard fixes the problem. My guess is that the KVM handles properly only a subset of the commands that may be set to and from the keyboard, so if some unsupported command passes through it all the kinds of weird effects start happening. -SB To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
