Thanks Nikolai, The problem I am having is that keyboard does not work with either PCBSD 10 or FreeBSD 10 over the iDrac console. PCBSD freaks out and loses the root fs AND I can't type. FreeBSD on the other hand only loses the keyboard (although mouse works). We happen to be using the native active X on Windows as the Java stuff seems not to work. Any ideas? thank you, -Alfred
