Thanks. } } Occasionally I will have to hit the numlock button a couple time to type } anything (the first time it beeps, the second time it toggles) but I haven't } noticed this in conjunction with switching consoles. Constantly, I can lose the keyboard and/or have malfunctioned keyboard during switching a keyboard to different CPU by using a keyboard switching box in X window section. About less than 35% times, using alt-Fkey may recover the keyboard, but most time I have to quit the X window (if keyboard still alive) or even reboot machine (lost keyboard). I do not know if we trigged a same bug. -Jin To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
