RE: rebooting nvidia + keyboard issues

I have had the same problem - it seems like a "sysctl" call provokes a
overrun in a strlen call. It is not reproducible with a GENERIC kernel with
debugging in my case. However a simple workaround is to compile
nvidia-driver with gcc.

Subject: rebooting nvidia + keyboard issues

Hi,

After updating my machine tonight with 
> uname -a
FreeBSD dx.burplex.com 10.0-CURRENT FreeBSD 10.0-CURRENT #0 r248937: Sat Mar
30 21:53:14 PDT 2013     root_at_dx.burplex.com:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/FURAHA
amd64

I noticed the machine rebooting randomly every 20 seconds to 5 minutes.
Disabling the nvidia driver seems to fix the problem, and I was able to
update after applying ports/177459 patch. The updated nvidia driver seems to
have solved the rebooting issue. (it could (also?) be related to linux.ko?)
If people are using the nvidia driver and are experiencing a constant reboot
issue, it might be good to pop in that patch ASAP.

The problem I am noticing now is keyboard related. Booting to single user
mode, I cannot type anything at the login prompt with an attached USB
keyboard. However in single user mode a PS2 keyboard will allow me to login.
I would not say it's not working.. the keyboard functions fine until hitting
the login prompt. There are no errors and everything appears to be working
fine, however I cannot login. Numlock key lights on and off when pressed. 

Also, if I boot into multi user mode, I cannot type anything at the login
prompt when a PS2 keyboard is attached. But the USB keyboard will work in
mutli user mode.

Thank you,
