If you had quoted the next two sentences: So, looking at the atbkd man page indicates that a 0x1 is FAIL_IF_NO_KBD. So, thinking that was the root of all my troubles, I removed the flags, recompiled the kernel, and rebooted. Looks like my problems may be solved. I was looking for a more ... philosophical answer about the use of that flag: So my question is this: Under what circumstance would I ever want to fail on no keyboard? Even if there WERE no keyboard plugged in, is it not helpful to install the driver in anticipation of a keyboard being added (eg. server in a cage, keyboard plugged in when needed). -Yanek. > -----Original Message----- > From: Dag-Erling Smorgrav [mailto:des@ofug.org] > Sent: Wednesday, April 17, 2002 5:34 PM > To: Yanek Korff > Cc: 'freebsd-stable@freeBSD.org' > Subject: Re: Belkin 8-port KVM = keyboard inactive > > > Yanek Korff <yanek@cigital.com> writes: > > I've got a number of FreeBSD servers connected to one > > monitor & keyboard using the Belkin OmniView Pro 8-port > > KVM switch.
