Scrive "Wilde, Donald" <dwilde@sandia.gov>: > I recently cvsup'd to -STABLE a clean 5.4 install, and when I did so, my > USB keyboard (on a Dell GX280) did not work in single-user mode. I had > previously (when working with 5.4-RELEASE as a clean install) created an > /etc/rc.i386 file with the kbdcontrol redirect line in it as specified > in the Handbook, and that worked fine. During the final mergemaster run > in upgrading to -STABLE, the rc.i386 file I'd created was removed as > obsolete. > > What worked was to remove 'device atkbd' from the kernel, rebuild, and > reboot, as per the ukbd man page. The only remaining issue is that in > bootup I get a complaint from kbdcontrol that device /dev/ukbd0 is busy. > It's after mounting filesystems and doesn't show up in dmesg. Grepping > /etc, I see that there's an attach/detach sequence in /etc/devd.conf > which includes a kbdcontrol line for /dev/ukbd0. Should I modify this? > My GX280 has no old-style kbd or ps2 mouse ports at all. > > Don Wilde Don, I had the same problem on a Dell 670. Try to put on "/boot/loader.conf" "hint.atkbd.0.flags="0x1" Ciao, Marco * Marco Pirovano * Universita' Bocconi, Area Sistemi Informatici e Telematici * Piazza Sraffa 11 - 20136 Milano * Tel. +39-025836.3173 Fax. +39-025836.3160
