Then I can boot FreeBSD with my keyboard connected in PS/2 port, login after system is up and issue startxfce command. Then I have to unplug my keyboard from PS/2 port on motherboard and plug it into keyboard port of dual PS/2->USB adapter for both mouse and keyboard and work normally. I tried after exiting XFCE to use keyboard again, and guess what? I need to plug it into PS/2 port of my motherboard. There is a problem with it, I have no working display after leaving X, so I can only blind type. If that worked, and I could use both X and console port, that would be nice. Just for completeness, # cat /usr/local/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/module.conf Section "Module" Load "shadow" Load "fb" Load "glamoregl" EndSection is my full configuration right now, and this xf86-input-keyboard-1.9.0_1 X.Org keyboard input driver xf86-input-mouse-1.9.2_1 X.Org mouse input driver xf86-video-ati-7.8.0_1,1 X.Org ati display driver xorg-server-1.18.4,1 X.Org X server and related programs is part of my currently installed ports (I think the most important related to this problem).
