This does not work, anyway.) The pcvt in 3.0-CURRENT uses different set of I/O routines to access the keyboard. Get files in /sys/i386/isa/pcvt in the 3.0-CURRENT tree and see if they work for you. (You are advised to backup the original pcvt source and the kernel before doing this, of course) Kazu
