None of those options exist in the BIOS of this particular machine. I assume it's always enabled due to its lack of PS/2 connectors. At least one Google hit mentions Dell Optiplex 745 specifically not working while model 755 boots FreeBSD without problems. Disabling atkbd via hints (as suggested by other posts) doesn't change the behaviour either unfortunately. This isn't extremely important to me. I simply wondered if I had missed some vital information regarding the use of USB keyboards. /Morgan ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

Dell OptiPlex 745 - no PS/2 connectors.
