Hi I did have the same problem, i was using a mechanical switch, yet when i moved over to the Omnicube (with poer switching) this solved the problem the problem lies with boosting the signal that the keyboard and mouse need, the mechanical one doesnt do this Dan Cuthbert European Hosting Research & Engineering PSINet Datacentres mobile : +44 77 1279 0646 -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG]On Behalf Of Francisco Reyes Sent: 20 November 2000 11:57 To: FreeBSD Questions List Subject: Keyboards freeze due to switchbox I have two Telenet machines on a KVM switchbox. If I set the switchbox to autoscan on both machines the keyboard stops working. The machines work ok and I had been able to ssh into them no problems, this is why it took me over a month to notice the problem. I have another two machines, compaq, on the same type of switch and they don't have the problem. I also tried putting the switchbox on a single machine. If I leave it on one of the two freebsd boxes, that particular machine will not have the problem, but the other one does. There is also a third box on the KVM, but that one does not have it's keyboard attached to the KVM, a Sun Sparc. I suspect this may be the problem, but I don't know if I can connect that machine to a different KVM since all 3 machines are on server racks. Since I have ssh access to the machines, is there a way to check if FreeBSD can see a keyboard? This way when a keyboard stops working on the KVM I can ssh and see if the machine can see the keybaord. This way I would know if the problem is with FreeBSD or the KVM.
