Re: FreeBSD 5.1 USB Keyboard support

Personally I like audio/bladeenc, but audio/lame is also nice and has more features and options. Lame is (I have not tested this, but this seems to be the common opinion) faster and produces better quality than bladeenc.

Let me clarify this statement. There's a On/Off switch on the drive. It's when I turn it (usb drive) off, the messages scroll (which I'd post if I could get them) and systems reboots. Happened twice. The third time, it says it got disconnected and the system continues to run fine. You could try two things: 1) If that is a kernel panic (which I assume), it should tell you that is going to reboot IFF you do not press a key on your keyboard. Pressing a key should stop the reboot timer and give you time to copy the message by hand. 2) What happens if you plug the drive in _after_ the system has started? Dumbing down the drive should not be needed, as it can't (normally) do any USB 2.x stuff over a USB 1.1 link (ie. it should dumb down itself) I find that FreeBSD gets really confused if you have a msdos formatted zip in the zip drive when you boot. It is a msdos formatted usb drive (2.5 laptop type drive in a IDE-to-USB2.0 case). Not a zip drive, but thank you for sharing that piece of info.
