You could try plugging in your external keyboard after the computer starts booting, your laptop may have a WinDOZ config tool. IF its a language problem have a look at. In the Section "InputDevice" Driver "keyboard" section Option "XkbLayout" "gb" ^^^ change to your lang type. As to your money, people on lists normally give there help for free, but your have to do some work for yourself in trying things out, if we help you, I suggest you give you money to NetBSD, Xfree86 or the EFF you pick. I feel sure all of them could use it. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
