The flag 0x04 (ALT_SCANCODESET for the XT keyboard) is for atkbd (AT keyboard driver). It is not for atkbdc (keyboard controller driver). >I have looked at the source for 2.2 syscons and 3.2 atkbd and I can not see >what the difference is in the codeset initialization and keyboard translation >for the 2 types.

This is the first time that I hear the flag 0x10 for sc works in 2.X, but the flag 0x4 for atkbd does not in 3.1 or later :-( I think I heard just last month that the flag works for ThinkPad 360CE... You say the keyboard works the kernel config menu and up to sysinstall, but it does not work in sysinstall and you cannot install the OS. Would you see if hitting the CAPS LOCK key changes the CAPS LED light? Kazu To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
