Since my earlier message produced no replies I assume that the keyboard problems I am having with 2.2/2.2.1 are not general problems. In fact I've subsequently got 2.2.1 and XFree 3.2 working quite happily on two desktop machines. Just to re-iterate the problem I'm having: "When I startup X, the window manager (fvwm) and various xterms appear correctly and the mouse works. However, the keyboard doesn't do anything. If I disconnect and then reconnect the keyboard it begins to work - although even then if I press keys such as Caps lock, Scroll local, Num lock then it stops working again. In addition switching to a virtual terminal from X (e.g. ctrl-alt-F2) also stops the keyboard working and the disconnect mechanism has to be used again. I am using an AJP 7500 notebook computer (486) and a docking station which then has the keyboard plugged into the docking station." Initially I had thought it was a problem with XFree 3.2 but I now have that running with FreeBSD 2.1.7. Also, I tried FreeBSD 2.2.1 with XFree 3.1.2 and this also exhibited the same problems as with 3.2. Most peculiar ! Any suggestions as to the solution or comments would be gratefully received. Please could you reply directly as I don't subscribe to the list.
