Hello,
I had the same problem and solved it with an rc.d script:
#!/bin/sh
#Script to enable usb keyboard if attached
case "$1" in
start)
if [ -e /dev/kbd1 ]; then
/usr/sbin/kbdcontrol -r 250.38 -k /dev/kbd1 < /dev/conso
le 2>&1 > /dev/null && echo -n ' usbkbd'
fi
;;
stop)
if [ -e /dev/kbd1 ]; then
/usr/sbin/kbdcontrol -r 250.38 -k /dev/kbd0 < /dev/conso
le 2>&1 > /dev/null && echo -n ' usbkbd'
fi
;;
*)
echo "Usage: `basename $0` { start | stop }"
exit 64
;;
esac
Basically, when initialising the system, this script checks to see if /dev/kbd1 exists, if so swops control to it, if not, nudda.
Hope this helps.

Subject: FreeBSD 5.1 USB Keyboard support
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).
In rc.conf I have added support for usb by
usbd_enable="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.
uhci0: <VIA 83C572 USB controller> port 0xc400-0xc41f irq 10 at device 16.0 on pci0
usb0: <VIA 83C572 USB controller> on uhci0
usb0: USB revision 1.0
uhub0: VIA UHCI root hub, class 9/0, rev 1.00/1.00, addr 1
uhub0: 2 ports with 2 removable, self powered
uhub1: Texas Instruments TUSB2046 hub, class 9/0, rev 1.10/1.25, addr 2
uhub1: 4 ports with 4 removable, bus powered
ukbd0: Logitech USB Receiver, rev 1.10/17.00, addr 3, iclass 3/1

ulpt0: hp deskjet 5550, rev 2.00/1.00, addr 6, iclass 7/1

uhci1: <VIA 83C572 USB controller> port 0xc800-0xc81f irq 11 at device 16.1 on pci0
usb1: <VIA 83C572 USB controller> on uhci1
usb1: USB revision 1.0
uhub2: VIA UHCI root hub, class 9/0, rev 1.00/1.00, addr 1
uhub2: 2 ports with 2 removable, self powered
uhci2: <VIA 83C572 USB controller> port 0xcc00-0xcc1f irq 7 at device 16.2 on pci0
usb2: <VIA 83C572 USB controller> on uhci2
usb2: USB revision 1.0
uhub3: VIA UHCI root hub, class 9/0, rev 1.00/1.00, addr 1
uhub3: 2 ports with 2 removable, self powered
This is what I found searching through Google that should work:
kbdcontrol -k /dev/kbd1 < /dev/ttyv0
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
device "USB Keyboard"
devname "ukbd0"
attach "kbdcontrol -k /dev/kbd1 < /dev/ttyv0 > /dev/null"
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
Peter
