AFAICT, g15daemon isn't a linux kernel module, so it can't load itself into the kernel. =46rom a cursory inspection of the g15daemon source code, it does try to access Linux specific devices, which is where I assume it fails. If you plug the keyboard in, does it show up as a uhid device, or as ugen? There are two things you could do, I think. - Port the libg15 and g15daemon to FreeBSD - Add support for the g15 to the existing uhid(4) driver.
