I started to look through the kernel code for keyboard detection with plans toward having a sysctl that forces the keyboard at run time, rather than kernel compile. But I got sidetracked. Related problems come up so often that I am convinced that such a fix is required. Me finding time to implement is a problem. /\/\ \/\/ On Tue, Jan 15, 2002 at 06:21:30PM +1030, Daniel O'Connor wrote: > I was wondering if there is a flag to force the kernel to detect a PS/2 > keyboard even if it doesn't detect one. > > The usual answer is 'set atkbdc flags to 0x0' but you can't do that if you are > installing for the first time - when you boot -c the config prompt is printed > in an infinite loop :( > > The newer keyboards I have (Mitsubishi Diamond Touch) do not get detected by > FreeBSD so every time I need to install from a base CD I have to dig up my > detectable keyboard and hot swap it after the detection phase.
