Hi, I recently decided to add kbdmux support to my default kernel config since i noticed at times that upon kernel panics and similar events my USB keyboard goes dead. Today i got to actually installing a kbdmux enabled kernel and came to the conclusion that even though keys like Capslock, Numlock and Scrolllock perform the functions they're supposed to do, the keyboard leds seem to arbitrarily decide wether or not they want to toggle on/off. on console i noticed that usually after hitting e.g. caps lock a few times the leds decdide to "work with me again" and toggle on/off accordingly .. until i hit any actual textual input .. at which point the previous eratic behavior has resurfaced. Similar problems exist in X as well ... though seem to be even more eratic there. Removing kbdmux from my kernel seems to restore normality again. Am i the only one seeing these problems ? It's on FreeBSD/amd64 7.0-CURRENT .. no PS/2 keyboard attached only a single USB keyboard. -- Pascal Hofstee
