The following reply was made to PR kern/71443; it has been noted by GNATS. From: Brooks Davis <brooks@one-eyed-alien.net> To: freebsd-gnats-submit@FreeBSD.org, ara@avvali.com Cc: Subject: Re: kern/71443: [usb] usb keyboard not detected on 5.3 Date: Fri, 10 Sep 2004 14:41:10 -0700 The problem here is that we now attache to the PS/2 keyboard even if there isn't one actually connected. This means we can plug PS/2 keyboards into servers after boot, but means that USB keyboards don't work. Once you're in multi-user mode, we have a devd.conf entry that causes the system to use the USB keyboard when it is plugged in, but that doesn't help with sysinstall. I've got a patch that should cause the CDs to work with USB keyboards by not attaching the atkbd device if there is no PS/2 keyboard. There's a test ISO at: http://people.freebsd.org/~brooks/6.0-CURRENT-i386-bootonly.iso.bz2 If you could try it out and report back that would be helpful. It doesn't contain install files because I built it at home where I'm stuck behind a 144k link. -- Brooks
