Hello everyone, Does anyone have anything to share w.r.t. how the keyboard booting lockup problem for HP zv6000 and Compaq R4000 laptops will be fixed? I know there was some technical discussion being thrown around as to how to get around bugs the the HP/Compaq keyboard controller. I am familiar with the method where the keyboard test code funcitons in atkbd.c are removed. I know there are workarounds. I'm just wondering what the status of a permanent fix is, if a concensus has been reached on how to proceed, and when we should expect such a fix to creep into STABLE. Also, last I tried, ACPI was working quite well (5.4-RELEASE) on my Compaq R4000. Is the keyboard issue the only showstopper to getting FreeBSD 6 booting/installing happily without modification on these machines? g. FYI, the atkbd flags and disabling ACPI that work for zv5000/r3000 models does not work with the newer models. :(
