I otherwise love the keyboard and mouse, but if i can't use it with FreeBSD i'll probably take it back, since i only use my windows box for playing games and such, and do most of my real work on my BSD box. not being able to type at a sufficient speed is a tremendous pain. i have noticed one thing, that in windows if i'm holding a key down and i press another key, it stops the held down key, prints the currently hit key and then stops. for example... kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkg in FreeBSD if i'm holding down a key and press another key it prints the pressed key once and then resumes spitting out the still held down key, for example kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkgkkkkkkk is there a way to get freebsd to use the first (windows) behavior? as i think that will help with the slight bit of lag i'm getting in BSD causing characters to double print. -kirt
