Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-hardware@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk List-ID: List-Archive: (Web Archive) List-Help: (List Instructions) List-Subscribe: List-Unsubscribe: X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Hi all, I'm rather new to PCing, but I greatly admire your work on FreeBSD. Sadly, though, since my fingers seem completely out of sorts on PC keyboards, I've been longing for a way to interface the Sun unix keyboards to this wonderfully cheap, fast platform for a while. Now that Sun uses USB keyboards, the hardware is in place and so my dream should be possible. How do I tell FreeBSD 4.4-STABLE to notice the Sun USB keyboard and treat it as the console input device? Kernel config file? Please help as running that SPARCclassic at home as an X display for the sole purpose of avoiding 'spoiling' my keyboarding skills is becoming unbearable.. thanks. --jake To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hardware" in the body of the message
