The keyboard works perfectly under winxp and under win200. I dont see the behavior with the letters there and this is using the standard drivers for a HID keyboard as win2000 finds it. I had the keyboard pluged into a USB hub, when I moved it to a USB2 port I didnt experiense the behavior with the letters, but I was still unable to to use the keyboard to install the keyboard using the USB ports. When I use the USB -> PS/2 converter that came with the keyboard it works though. So I think the letter problem was due to my CNet USB 4 way hub. And I dont know why am unable to use the keyboard pluged into the USB port when I install FreeBSD 5.1 but it works when I install FreeBSD 4.8. Thanks for the help and comments on this. :) Peter ----- Original Message ----- From: "Andre Guibert de Bruet" To: "Peter" Cc: Sent: Tuesday, October 21, 2003 5:58 AM Subject: Re: USB Keyboard questions > > On Mon, 20 Oct 2003, Peter wrote: > > > I have been reading that page and I have the keyboard working, but I > > fail to see how this will help a user that only has a USB Keyboard > > that wants to use FreeBSD5.1 and is unable to install it due to the > > lack of USB support from the start. > > Some BIOSes offer a "USB legacy support" option which allows the use of a > usb keyboard as if it were a PS2 keyboard during system startup. > > > And I still would like to know if its my keyboard that is out of sync > > with the USB spec since it will add letters when I write like . > > "This should read like this" but can end up like "Thisi should reaed > > likek this" > > Does this keyboard exhibit the same behavior when it's plugged into a > Windows machine?
