All, I'm using FreeBSD 5.3 and I've run into a bit of a problem. I am using a KVM switch that does not keep a live connection to the computer when switching between computers ie. the computers show that the usb keyboard/mouse are unplugged when you switch between them. My problem occurs when the i switch from my Windows box back to my FreeBSD box. The USB deamon on the BSD box shows that the keyboard is recognized and loads it but when i try to use the keyboard nothing comes up. The USB keyboard does work when I reboot the BSD box and dont switch between computers. Now how I get the USB keyboard to work when i switch between computers I have to run this script. sleep 15 kbdcontrol -k /dev/kbd1 < /dev/ttyv0 > /dev/null Apparently when I reboot the box everything works fine, the USB keyboard is accessed as kbd0 -> ukbd0 but when I switch between boxes and switch back the keyboard doesnt get mounted at kbd0 -> ukbd0 but instead is mounted at kbd1 -> ukbd1. So my question is how do I get FreeBSD to always mount the keyboard as kbd0 -> ukbd0 and not kbd1 -> ukbd1 Because upon bootup my kbdcontrol is called as: kbdcontrol -k /dev/kbd0 < /dev/ttyv0 > /dev/null and cannot be called wih kbd1 because at bootup that device does not exist, and also that device disappears when I swicth to my other computer so kbdcontrol sets itself back to kbd0. I also use hint.atkbd.0.disabled="1" in loader.conf since I have no PS/2 deviceReceived on Wed Mar 09 2005 - 18:11:19 UTC
