Re: USB Keyboard questions
Doesnt look like my Abit KD7 has a legacy support, I can choose BIOS support or OS support for the USB keyboard and mouse. The keyboard works perfectly under winxp and under win200. I dont see the behavior with the letters there and this is using the standard drivers for a HID keyboard as win2000 finds it. I had the keyboard pluged into a USB hub, when I moved it to a USB2 port I didnt experiense the behavior with the letters, but I was still unable to to use the keyboard to install the keyboard using the USB ports. When I use the USB - PS/2 converter that came with the keyboard it works though. So I think the letter problem was due to my CNet USB 4 way hub. And I dont know why am unable to use the keyboard pluged into the USB port when I install FreeBSD 5.1 but it works when I install FreeBSD 4.8. Thanks for the help and comments on this. :) Peter - Original Message - From: Andre Guibert de Bruet [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Peter [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, October 21, 2003 5:58 AM Subject: Re: USB Keyboard questions On Mon, 20 Oct 2003, Peter wrote: I have been reading that page and I have the keyboard working, but I fail to see how this will help a user that only has a USB Keyboard that wants to use FreeBSD5.1 and is unable to install it due to the lack of USB support from the start.

Ok I will try and get the information down :) from the dmesg uhci0: VIA 83C572 USB controller port 0xc400-0xc41f irq 10 at device 16.0 on pci0 usb0: VIA 83C572 USB controller on uhci0 usb0: USB revision 1.0 uhub0: VIA UHCI root hub, class 9/0, rev 1.00/1.00, addr 1 uhub0: 2 ports with 2 removable, self powered ukbd0: Logitech USB Receiver, rev 1.10/17.00, addr 2, iclass 3/1 kbd0 at ukbd0 ums0: Logitech USB Receiver, rev 1.10/17.00, addr 2, iclass 3/1 ums0: 7 buttons and Z dir. uhub1: Texas Instruments TUSB2046 hub, class 9/0, rev 1.10/1.25, addr 3 uhub1: 4 ports with 4 removable, bus powered ugen0: Logitech Camera, rev 1.00/1.00, addr 4 ugen1: vendor 0x0f4d product 0x1000, rev 1.10/4.01, addr 5 uhci1: VIA 83C572 USB controller port 0xc800-0xc81f irq 11 at device 16.1 on pci0 usb1: VIA 83C572 USB controller on uhci1 usb1: USB revision 1.0 uhub2: VIA UHCI root hub, class 9/0, rev 1.00/1.00, addr 1 uhub2: 2 ports with 2 removable, self powered uhci2: VIA 83C572 USB controller port 0xcc00-0xcc1f irq 7 at device 16.2 on pci0 usb2: VIA 83C572 USB controller on uhci2 usb2: USB revision 1.0 uhub3: VIA UHCI root hub, class 9/0, rev 1.00/1.00, addr 1 uhub3: 2 ports with 2 removable, self powered From what I can see the USB used is UHCI, doesnt say in the manual what they use. When I run WinXP It doesnt matter where I plug in the keyboard. In the USB1, USB2 or with the USB-PS/2 convert in the PS/2 port there are no glitches at all. It types like I do. So no added letters in the text im writing. When I run FreeBSD 4.8 I can install it using the keyboard in the USB port, this I cant do with FreeBSD 5.1. When I write text in FreeBSD * when pluged into the USB* ports I get added letters like this should be the text thisi shohuld be the textx (just example). How the letters are added seems random but it happens more often the faster I type. When I run with the USB-PS/2 Converter to plug the keyboard into the PS/2 Port it works without any problems at all in both WinXP and FreeBSD 5.1. I can install FreeBSD 5.1 and can type without any problem. So from my point of view as a user I can see three problems. A) the usb support on my motherboard is bad to worse B) something isn´t right in FreeBSDs USB support. C) A and B in combination. Or im totaly wrong :) and that happens from time to time. I hope this info helps.

USB Keyboard questions
Hi I have been trying to install FreeBSD 5.1 with a Logitech USB keyboard. But I have been unable to do that since it looks like FreeBSD 5.1 doesnt recognize the keyboard when it hasnt loaded the kernel. I then tried to install FreeBSD 4.8 and it worked like a charm with the USB keyboard. My first question is; Why isnt there support for a USB Keyboard during the installation of FreeBSD 5.1 and during the boot up process as well? I am unable to use it in the boot screen of FreeBSD 5.1. My second question is; I have been able to get the usb keyboard working in FreeBSD after help in the question mailing list, but when I use it I tend to every now and then get the same character again, this happens most often when im typing fast. I gues this is common knowledg but since Im new in current and new to using USB Keyboard in FreeBSD and I havent found much searching in Google. Is there a way to stop it or is it a bug in the USB source for FreeBSD, or just me. Mostly intrested in the status of this. Im running FreeBSD 5.1 release #0 with Generic kernel.
