On a Gateway ML6732 notebook, FreeBSD 9-stable is working great. Video works (i915), sound works, the only thing that isn't quite right is that the first character typed after the FreeBSD kernel loads is lost. After that, it works normally. This makes entering a passphrase more challenging.

These are total shots in the dark:

1. It is entirely normal (and generally thought desirable) for the
screensaver to swallow the first character when it is running -- see if this
is worth further investigation by changing screensavers or disabling it
altogether.

2. check /etc/issue to see if there is a trailing ANSI sequence that might
eat a character.

Interesting suggestions. Turning off legacy USB support in the BIOS as suggested by Adam seems to have fixed it.
