https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=208642 Bug ID: 208642 Summary: Add quirk for Corsair STRAFE Gaming Keyboard Product: Base System Version: 10.2-STABLE Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Only Me Priority: --- Component: usb Assignee: freebsd-usb@FreeBSD.org Reporter: cyberbotx@cyberbotx.com Created attachment 169116 --> https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=169116&action=edit USB Quirk for Corsair STRAFE Gaming Keyboard This adds a USB quirk to allow a Corsair STRAFE Gaming Keyboard to work with FreeBSD. It is based on the already existing quirks for the other 2 Corsair keyboards that have quirks already. The patch was against 10.3-RELEASE, but I imagine it could be ported to other versions of FreeBSD as well. One minor, semi-annoying note with the keyboard under FreeBSD, though. Prior to booting FreeBSD, the keyboard works fine within the BIOS and the bootloader. Once booting, the keyboard shuts off, which is expected as the USB controllers need to be initialized by FreeBSD. Once FreeBSD initializes the USB controllers, the keyboard's Scroll Lock light begins to blink. I've read that this is because the keyboard has been placed into a "BIOS Mode" of some sort, but this model of keyboard doesn't contain a hardware switch that some other Corsair keyboards have to enable/disable BIOS Mode. It was happening even without the quirk in place. I do not know enough about the keyboard's BIOS Mode or FreeBSD's USB stack to know why this is happening. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
