keyboard

Hello, I installed uhidd to use the multimedia keys of my keyboard and xev detects the scancodes except for one key, the mute key. I checked with kbdscan to see if the problem was with X but kbdscan detects the whe I pressed the key but the 'released' event never fires, if immediately after I...

I was trying to bind my fn+f1-f12 keys (which I'm trying to use for volume controls and such) in sxhkd. Before when I used Linux, I bound XF86Audio* keys (e.g. XF86AudioLowerVolume) and it worked, and xev detected them. Now I switched to FreeBSD, xev does not detect any fn+f1-f12 keys at all...

Greetings everyone! I've been meaning to take FreeBSD for a spin, but unfortunately my keyboard is giving me a hard time. Doing a bit of research, i came across this chat from 2016 where the OP mentions that the keyboard effectively doesn't work under FreeBSD, unless the appropriate quirk is...

I have a MacBook 12" with an Intel Core M processor (https://www.apple.com/macbook/specs/) that boots into FreeBSD 11.1 just fine from a USB key but has no keyboard once I reach the sysinstall screen.

Hi everyone! This will be my first post on the FreeBSD forum (and, in fact, any forum anywhere). I've used Linux (mostly Debian and later Arch Linux) for most of my life on the computer, but for the last two years or so I've been using a Mac. I've become increasingly unhappy with the attitude of...

Hi ! I've been searching for hours but I can't find a solution to something which seems easy... My gnome system settings are changed to my local ones, the keyboard layout is OK when logged in but not before. On the logging screen I can only use the US keyboard layout. How can I change this ...

On FreeBSD 11 with MATE 1.12.1, I'm trying to get a French keyboard layout to type an email in Thunderbird. The keyboard is a Logitech K120 (English). I used the Layouts tab of the 'Keyboard Preferences' window (either system-->preferences-->hardware-->keyboard or system-->control...

Perhaps here is an X11 expert that helps me save time. :) An Introduction of how X11 treats the keyboard is here: https://www.jwz.org/xkeycaps/man.html Also the manpages xmodmap and xev help. I have an old Compaq german keyboard. Q1. Can I expect that the correspondence of KeyCaps (letters...

I'm having some strange behavior with my USB keyboard in FreeBSD. After booting, slim loads, and when I try to enter my user name, one of two things happens; either the pressed key doesn't appear, or it will act as though the key is being held down and repeat that character several times, even...

I am restarting an install and was wondering if it was possible to set what I normally invision as setxkbmap -layout colemak -option ctrl:nocaps in the rc.conf file. Because I don't have X installed, and the usual /etc/default/keyboard file is missing (?) I'm wondering what options I have...

Suddenly my keyboard enters an extra key when I type. It's the same after a reboot. This is on FreeBSD 10.3. I haven't changed anything recently. Im supposing there's a backdoor on my computer, or key stroke logger leaving a trail? Hopefully, its just a hardware problem. I'll use a rootkit...

Hi, I'm trying to install FreeBSD 11 on my Macbook 12" retina, but I encountered the following problem: once the system loads and appears the Welcome Menu, where I can chose between install, shell or LiveCD, I cannot move on because the keyboard is not working. The only key working, luckily, is...

I recently installed PC BSD 10 on a Dell E6530 laptop. All was well with KDE until keyboard appeared to stop working within KDE. I could login ok, but that's all. I couldn't work out what was wrong so switched to Lumina. I eventually removed KDE and everything else I wasn't using. After...

Hello everybody. There is not "ñ" in my keyboard, and also some buttons are changed. When I first installed FreeBSD, it was certainly fine. But when I start the LXDE environment, it was the wrong keyboard for me. Can anyone help me (and others like me)? In spanish/En castellano: Hola a...

Hi, I'm testing out FreeBSD10 in a VM environment. I'm not sure if this is expected behavior, as I'm new to FreeBSD, but every time I try to scroll back using the Scroll-Lock -> Arrow keys the screen drops back to the end where the input cursor is. Is it possible to change this behavior? I...

Hi to all! I am new to FreeBSD, and I have followed this guide (http://www.freebsdworld.gr/files/install10-us.pdf) to install and configure the system. I need to use the portuguese-brazilian (pt-br) keyboard layout, when I started the installation, a screen appeared asking what layout I wish...

If I'm running a FreeBSD system without X, but with several virtual terminals doing various things, under certain circumstances I will use vidcontrol() to switch to a particular virtual terminal in case of an alarm event. But I don't want to do that if I'm actively typing in one or another...

Hi, I have a problem with the X keyboard mapping. I have the system set up in UTF-8 (except LC_COLLATE) and, at the terminals, my keyboard mapping is correct but, when I start X, I always need to open xterm and write setxkbmap es (Spanish keyboard mapping). I can live with that but I think there...
