Or will us "release systems only" types have to wait for 6.2? --Alex ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

A Fedora Core 4 and an RHEL 3 Linux did not have similar keyboard problem. The DRAC keyboard (USB) takes precedence over any other keyboard you attach. I believe work is in progress to make FreeBSD recognise multiple simultaneous keyboards. If you search for "freebsd 2850 keyboard" with google you should find other posts where this is described. We only access our 2850s from the DRAC, which works for us. --Alex ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

In our case, building a custom kernel solved the problem - being sure to have the required USB devices in the kernel (note that DRAC keyboards are USB keyboards). You may be able to accomplish the same thing with some sort of modules or loader magic, but we wanted custom kernels anyway, so it wasn't a hassle. -- Bill Moran Collaborative Fusion Inc. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
