RE: USB Keyboard is not working with a custom kernel
OK... This could work eventually, but think about another fact: With GENERIC kernel, everything works correctly. I plug and unplug the keyboard, and it interacts wonderfully.

Since kbdmux has been introduced, focus is on all keybpards that are plugged into the system, so it doesn't matter where you type something. Maybe you could check the presence of kbdmux or use an AT keyboard to check via kbdcontrol. -- Polytropon From Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

The generic kernel has kbdmux these days. I see... this is one piece of info that I needed, thanks a lot! I will check it and I hope it works.
