MAKEDEV snd0 should recreate them with the correct permissions. Somewhere within your XF86Config file you should have a 'Section "InputDevice"' for your keyboard. Modulo any comments in the file, that section should look something like this in your case: Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Keyboard1" Driver "Keyboard" Option "AutoRepeat" "500 30" Option "XkbRules" "xfree86" Option "XkbModel" "microsoft" Option "XkbLayout" "gb" EndSection Cheers, Matthew -- Dr Matthew J Seaman MA, D.Phil. 26 The Paddocks Savill Way Tel: +44 1628 476614 Marlow Fax: +44 0870 0522645 Bucks., SL7 1TH UK To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
