I have two Telenet machines on a KVM switchbox. If I set the switchbox to autoscan on both machines the keyboard stops working. The machines work ok and I had been able to ssh into them no problems, this is why it took me over a month to notice the problem. I have another two machines, compaq, on the same type of switch and they don't have the problem. I also tried putting the switchbox on a single machine. If I leave it on one of the two freebsd boxes, that particular machine will not have the problem, but the other one does. There is also a third box on the KVM, but that one does not have it's keyboard attached to the KVM, a Sun Sparc. I suspect this may be the problem, but I don't know if I can connect that machine to a different KVM since all 3 machines are on server racks. Since I have ssh access to the machines, is there a way to check if FreeBSD can see a keyboard? This way when a keyboard stops working on the KVM I can ssh and see if the machine can see the keybaord. This way I would know if the problem is with FreeBSD or the KVM.
