I applied the third one: > --- sys/dev/usb2/input/ukbd2.c 4 Nov 2008 02:31:03 -0000 1.1 > +++ sys/dev/usb2/input/ukbd2.c 7 Nov 2008 08:32:41 -0000 Sadly it made no difference. I *did not* see any "set protocol failed" messages during boot, so I believe the set worked correctly. Since this box is more or less a server, and I spend very little time at its console (sans recent events :-) ), I think an easier option would be for me to go with a different (simpler) model of USB keyboard, or dig up an old PS/2 Dell keyboard for permanent use. If you'd like me to test any other patches or want me to make code modifications and try things out, I'll be more than happy to test. -- | Jeremy Chadwick jdc at parodius.com | | Parodius Networking http://www.parodius.com/ | | UNIX Systems Administrator Mountain View, CA, USA | | Making life hard for others since 1977.
