I reverted the kbd code to original RELENG_6 version (kbd.c > rev. 1.43 and kbdreg.h rev. 1.17), and the keyboard works once again. > Anything else I can try to debug this problem with kbdmux further? i doubt kbdmux(4) is your problem. according to the dmesg you have posted you dont seem to use/load kbdmux(4) driver. it is highly unlikely that my changes in /sys/dev/kbd/ cause this. kbdmux(4) is not default keyboard and, at this point, one must configure/load it by hand. my guess would be that you, perhaps, have some sort of interrupt routing problem or something like it. thanks, max
