However the keyboard (and all other usb devices) no longer functions, rendering the system unusable. I tried to install 7.0-RC3 but this problem seems to affects other versions as well. I found an unsolved PR from 2006 (!) in which several users have reported similar issues: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=100746 Is there some way to fix this? Thanks in advance for your help. Pak _________________________________________________________________ Express yourself instantly with MSN Messenger!
