Does this mean that if a MB has a PS2 combo (one slot for whether a keyboard or a mouse) and that a mouse is connected to it, one has no keyboard at least on console? That may explain some queer behaviors I had. But, in general, I had queer behavior with USB devices with NetBSD (not to mention that on a dual boot node---Windows being the other one---it is impossible to have a sane boot after running Windows without cold booting; I don't know what Windows does with the BIOS and the hardware settings, but it results in havoc). -- Thierry Laronde <tlaronde +AT+ polynum +dot+ com> http://www.kergis.com/ http://www.arts-po.fr/ Key fingerprint = 0FF7 E906 FBAF FE95 FD89 250D 52B1 AE95 6006 F40C
