I'm trying to use a USB keyboard on 6.0-RELEASE, but it either simply doesn't work, or works long enough to catch the first key I press and repeat it 50 times. The odd thing is that when the USB keyboard is connected, neither it nor the PS/2 keyboard work, but the PS/2 keyboard resumes function as soon as I disconnect the USB keyboard. I've tried running kbdcontrol -k /dev/kbd1 from rc.local, and I just got a "/dev/kbd1: Device Busy", so I hypothesized that perhaps it was because it was running that after usbd, so I set up a skeleton script in /etc/rc.d that required DAEMON and provided usbkbd, then set usbd's script to require usbkbd. Unfortunately, same error, different place. I've also tried connecting the keyboard as normal, through my KVM, directly to the system, and directly to the system with the KVM disconnected. Same problem, no joy. I'm completely stumped on this one, and I can't seem to find any information. Any help would be greatly appreciated, I would just use a PS/2 keyboard, but that's not an option. I need this keyboard to work, because it was a gift from my significant other.. I'd really rather not hurt her feelings for her to see it in a box in the corner of the room. If anyone needs a dmesg listing, I can provide that, I just didn't provide it because of said keyboard troubles, but I hope I described the problem thoroughly enough.. Thanks In Advance, Quinn Evans
