I'm getting lots of the latter. It looks like I spoke too soon. It is not an entire system lockup, it is merely a keyboard lockup. It happens *every* time I change between virtual terminals. I've got the machine attached to a KVM, and every time I switch vtys the keyboard locks. If I switch to another machine on the KVM and then switch back, the keyboard is unlocked again. I figured it was the KVM, so I removed the FreeBSD machine from the KVM. It still did it, but instead I had to unlock the keyboard by unplugging and then plugging the keyboard back in. So it isn't the KVM. Again, every time I change vtys with ALT-Fx, the keyboard locks. I'm still investigating it. I don't believe it is a hardware issue either, because it doesn't happen when I press ALT-Fx outside of FreeBSD. For example, if I'm in the BIOS setup utility it doesn't lock the keyboard. If I'm on ttyv0 and I press ALT-F1 (switching me to ttyv0), there is no keyboard lockup. It only happens when the actual virtual terminal changes. It is annoying as hell and makes working impossible. I'm still trying to find what date (source-wise) it started on. IT seems strange that nobody else has reported anything like this. Makes me wonder if I'm overlooking some hardware possibility. --=20 Sean Kelly | PGP KeyID: 77042C7B smkelly@zombie.org | http://www.zombie.org For PGP key, send e-mail with subject "send pgp key" --rwEMma7ioTxnRzrJ Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQE7dGQB2aukpHcELHsRAs1OAKCBZLfyitDsByNLUN0ntDRAO3D/KACaAgIX Kaw/k77J9CP2XsLb/Kctgns= =L+J9 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --rwEMma7ioTxnRzrJ-- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
