What happens with my case is I (usually) see the LEDs flash then the keyboard locks up. If I unplug the keyboard and plug it back in it comes back up with no problems. I added an extension cable to the keyboard so that the connector is within easy reach. :-) It seems to be a random event; sometimes it happens every few minutes, sometimes it goes for days. I'm running a Pentium 166 on an ASUS motherboard under FreeBSD 2.1-RELEASE (loaded from the CD-ROM). I've not tried setting the BROKEN_KEYBOARD (or whatever it is; I forget) yet; gotta get around to trying that... Mike
