Hi Im using FreeBSD 5.1 and I can't get my Logitech USB keyboard to =
work directly in the consol. I have search trough the net and found very =
little (either I searched wrong or there is very little info).=20
In rc.conf I have added support for usb by
usbd_enable=3D"YES"
>From the dmesg I can see that FreeBSD finds the keyboard and adds it =
like ukbd0: Logitech USB Receiver, rev 1.10/17.00, addr 3, iclass 3/1
kbd1 at ukbd0
The Kernel is rebuilt and has support for USB. As the GENERIC had it.

uhci2: <VIA 83C572 USB controller> port 0xcc00-0xcc1f irq 7 at device =

This is what I found searching through Google that should work:=20
kbdcontrol -k /dev/kbd1 < /dev/ttyv0=20
This works but I have to log through ssh from another comp and write =
that command and sometimes it adds a letter that I just had written. =
That tends to be anyoing. And it also doesnt start so that I can choose =
at the boot prompt.
Another thing I found was to put the following into usbd.conf=20
device "USB Keyboard"=20
devname "ukbd0"=20
attach "kbdcontrol -k /dev/kbd1 < /dev/ttyv0 > /dev/null"=20
detach "kbdcontrol -k /dev/kbd0 < /dev/ttyv0 > /dev/null"
This doesnt work at all for me nothing happens att all.
Is there a way to add USB keyboard support when FreeBSD is running in =
singelusermode so that I have a chance of installing new kernels and =
upgrade the system right now I plug in an old PS/2 keyboard?
My motherboard is Abit KD7-S with VIA KT400 and VT8235 chipset and the =
keyboard is Logitech Cordles Desktop Comfort.
Thanks in Advance=20
