This could work eventually, but think about another fact: With GENERIC kernel, everything works correctly. I plug and unplug the = keyboard, and it interacts wonderfully.

This *may* be due to kbdmux. On older FreeBSD systems (such as FreeBSD 5), you had to manually change the active keyboard using the kbdcontrol command. Let's say, you have an AT keyboard present (which has the "focus") and you plugged in the USB keyboard, the keyboard would get recognized and powered (so you can toggle the Blinkenlights), but no input would come from it. Then you would have to use the "focused" keyboard /dev/kbd0 (=3D/dev/atkbd0) to "change focus" to the USB one /dev/kbd1 (=3D/dev/ukbd0). Since kbdmux has been introduced, "focus" is on all keybpards that are plugged into the system, so it doesn't matter where you type something. Maybe you could check the presence of kbdmux or use an AT keyboard to check via kbdcontrol. --=20 Polytropon >From Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
