The FreeBSD keyboard probe won't detect these keyboards :( (I have heaps ) I rolled my own release do work around the problem because the only way to fix it is to change the atkbdc boot flags from 0x01 to 0x00, but you can't do that without a keyboard... Grrr.. Another option is to find a keyboard FreeBSD WILL detect and use it while installing. BTW with the flags change the keyboard lights don't work either. --- Daniel O'Connor software and network engineer for Genesis Software - http://www.gsoft.com.au "The nice thing about standards is that there are so many of them to choose from." -- Andrew Tanenbaum To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
