Now my standard 101-key Logitech keyboard freezes (without r= ecovering) while using GNOME. So now I have 3 devices which don't work : 1) UPS which can run a self-test but is unable to shut down the computer up= on power failure 2) printer which does not get detected 3) keyboard which freezes after a while Although each problem can be attributed to a separate port=2C the common th= read is USB. All 3 devices work perfectly under Windows XP SP3. The externa= l USB hub I use can be ruled out because the printer and keyboard are conne= cted directly to motherboard ports. Unless there is a trouble-shooting manual=2C all I can do is wait for the n= ext FreeBSD release - and let Microsoft win the argument for the meanwhile. Regards=2C Manish Jain =
