Tbe behaviour of the keyboard has changed under the new Parallels Desktop 6.0. Previous versions emulated a PS/2 keyboard, even if the USB controller was installed.
Version 6.0 emulates a USB keyboard if you have the USB controller installed. ===== Symptom: keyboard did not respond after booting multi-user. Booting into single user mode, the keyboard worked. It was also possible to load a custom keymap with "kbdcontrol -l custommap.kbd" Exiting into multi-user mode, the keyboard did not respond. The system was still running and it could be shutdown cleanly using the stop button. Resolution: FreeBSD will use a USB keyboard if one is available. I was using a kernel with a custom keymap embedded in it. Unfortunately this requires that the keyboard multiplexor be disabled in the kernel configuration. I also had a line in /etc/rc.conf to load my keymap in case I did not boot from my custom kernel. The script that loads the keymap was getting confused by the lack of a keyboard multiplexor. Work around: Uninstall the USB controller in Desktop's hardware configuration pane. _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-emulation To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
