Every so often I try asking for help with it, and its usually the response I get :( So you are correct. I am infolving old feelings etc when I shoudl not be. Sorry.

Thats certainly different than abyone else has suggested. In my 5.1 system I see this in my .hints file. So I assume I edit it there or do I treat it like a defaults file and import and change in in my config file? Thanks for the assist !

Not to put too fine a point on it, but I've seen numerous posts from you, on several topics, all of them berating people for not giving you what you want, when you wanted it. I tend to ignore posts from you for just this reason. Remove the 0x01 flag from the atkbd0 line in your kernel config. I will give that a shot. Thats certainly different than abyone else has suggested. That's because they didn't understand the problem you were trying to solve. In my 5.1 system I see this in my .hints file. So I assume I edit it there or do I treat it like a defaults file and import and change in in my config file? I didn't say anything about your hints file. You need to edit your kernel config file, build a new kernel, then reboot. If any of that is confusing to you, please follow up on freebsd-questions, since people running -current are assumed to have that base of knowledge.

Yeah, I was looking at the kernel config on the wrong box. This flag did used to be in GENERIC, so it's worth double-checking the kernel config anyway just to be sure, but it should definitely be updated in /boot/device.hints if it's there.

Re: 5.2-RELEASE TODO -2
BTW - I do thank you Marc for your advice. I know you were trying to assist. It just drives me crazy when important things get broken and people act like.. What the big deal. I don't need it why should you? I still have not solved the going to comsonsole mode if there is no keyboard detected crap, new feature. Yea great for those who could benifit from it.. But I have YET to have one person be able to show me how to STOP it from doing that. Why??? gosh why?? Becouse I don't want serial console and I don't have a keyboard on every server. So if I walk into the datacenter and try to access a server that has been rebooted.. I'm screwed! I have to ssh from some other server that has not been rebooted and if I NEED console.. then I have to reb oot the server. That detrimeature still has me pissed and the people I do work for scratching their head wanting to know why I install such a broken OS. They don't know and can't directly see the good things... managers and clients can only see it when you have to strugle to do something that should not be so obtuse.
