I out-commented "device atkbd0 at atkbdc? irq 1" and I can use the USB keyboard now. Problem kinda solved :) Thanks! -- Andreas "daff" Ntaflos | "A cynic is a man who knows the price of daff AT dword DOT org | everything, and the value of nothing."

If I am not mistaken the "fix" for this problem is to remove the AT keyboard driver from the kernel? This is mentioned somewhere in the handbook, too I think. There are two entries in the kernel configuration for the keyboard (controller): device atkbdc0 at isa? port IO_KBD device atkbd0 at atkbdc? irq 1 # flags 0x1: remove and reconnect kbd correctly Which one has to be removed? Probably both, right? But as far as I understand, the atkbdc0 also controls the PS/2 mouse; does that mean it is not possible to use a USB keyboard with a PS/2 mouse? Sounds like I should keep using the keyboard with the USB-to-PS/2 converter, doesn't it? :) But I'll try removing the AT driver first. -- Andreas "daff" Ntaflos | "A cynic is a man who knows the price of daff AT dword DOT org | everything, and the value of nothing."
