I have just spent a couple of hours debugging and documenting the problem and submitted a kernel patch: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=kern/63171 But dammit, I've just discovered that the fix was posted already on 27th September last year: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=kern/57273 To prevent further time wasting, can someone please commit one of these? (Both fix the rollover problem, but kern/63171 also fixes a pointer type mismatch problem) Thanks, Brian Candler. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Here's what I get if I compile in and turn on USB keyboard debugging in the kernel, and type "asd" as "a" down, "s" down, "a" up, "d" down: this generates "asds" on screen.

Example: Additional information: if I reboot my laptop into Windows 98 (forgot I had that partition!), the keyboard works properly with no rollover problem. So it looks suspiciously like FreeBSD is not initialising it properly or communicating correctly. W98 installed three default drivers (I think USB.INF, USBHID.INF and something else) when I first inserted it. There was no special driver disk which came with the keyboard. So I think it must be doing the "default" thing for a USB keyboard.

USB keyboard rollover problem
Since my old Vaio laptop has a broken key, I decided to get a USB keyboard for it. I have been using a USB mouse successfully for a while. However I have a problem with keyboard rollover, meaning I get duplicate characters when typing quickly. Example: Depress "a" -- a Depress "b" -- b Release "a" Depress "c" -- cb So typing "questions" quickly tends to say "questioins". I am having to type this very gingerly and still doing lots of backspaces! My question is: is this something I can tweak in FreeBSD? (I can't see anything under kbdcontrol). Is it a bug in FreeBSD? Or have I just bought a useless keyboard? System information: - Sony Vaio PCG-C1F - FreeBSD 4.8-RELEASE - Packard Bell PB-KB400 USB "Night glow" keyboard (I didn't want the glow but it was the only small USB keyboard in stock locally :-) Feb 20 13:38:14 vaio /kernel: ukbd0: USB Multimedia Keyboard , rev 1.10/0.01, addr 2, iclass 3/1 Feb 20 13:38:14 vaio /kernel: kbd1 at ukbd0 Feb 20 13:38:14 vaio /kernel: uhid0: USB Multimedia Keyboard , rev 1.10/0.01, addr 2, iclass 3/1 - After inserting the keyboard, I enable it using #!/bin/sh kbdcontrol -k /dev/kbd1 http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
