I am trying to install FreeBSD 9.0 32bit on a Mini-ITX computer an Intel D2500CC motherboard, 4GB RAM, SATA HD, USB keyboard and (on and off) an USB mouse.
When I try to install the screen is corrupted:
* When I try to navigate the text based menus, such as selecting keyboard or partioning the harddisk the screen does not get correctly updated. Characters "stick". Some chararcters that I write are replaced bey solid squares. If the mouse is installed it displays correctly, and if it is moved, the screen is updated and things are displayed correctly.
* When I have a normal command line screen and write something on the command line some characters are replaced by solid sqaures, and erasing by pressing backspace does not work completely. If the mouse is installed and I move it, there will be multiple arrows, and the screen is corrupted where the arrows move.
Another thing is that FreeBSD does not find the PS/2 mouse (I have not yet tested PS/2 keyboard).
When I log in using ssh there are no problems so far.
With linux (ubuntu and memtest) there are no problems in neither text nor in graphical mode (X). I tested to run PC-BSD 9.0 and it had (of course) the same problem in text mode, but in graphical mode (X) it had no problem.
The installation is completed, but I'd like to be able to use the console without corruption. Any suggestions?
