I could not even switch to the consoles anymore. Hi Erich, No, I havent.. But I am leaning towards a hardware quirk at this point. Since the original post, I have done a bit more digging and had a chance to test against another machine and it does not have the same problem. I also found out that even though I had connected a PS2 keyboard to the motherboards PS2 ports, these are not conventional ports. They look like they are actually connected to a converter that sits on the motherboards USB controller. On the second test machine, I attached a PS2 keyboard to the PS2 Port and a USB keyboard (Sun type 6) to the USB ports. Neither of the keyboards have this problem.. With this in mind, I am fairly sure its not a BSD issue and suspect its whatever converter they put on this Intel motherboard. Weird... Peg
