A month go I noticed missed characters when I type text/commands etc. I decided to replace my cheap USB keyboard with something better. I purchased a $50 "mechanical" keyboard, but nothing has changed – I still see missed characters. It looks like an anti-bouncing filter cuts certain keystrokes...

I tried to get the multimedia keys working with my Thinkpad X1 (6th Generation) but without any success. Via xev I only receive events for F1-F3 (Mute, Volume Down, Volume Up) all other keys do not provide any event. Did someone had the same issue or could maybe provide an solution how it would...

Hello, I try to setup a FreeBSD 11.2 with Openbox as a VMware Fusion guest but I struggle with the virtual mouse and the keyboard layout. Here are the commands I use: https://gist.github.com/arthurwhite/cc3b9c77f1c4d712bd281abbdfcf0199 More specifically, the X11 configuration: Section...

I all, I'm looking for a keymap that would allow me to use my external extended Apple keyboard, french layout (USB) on FreeBSD 11.2-RELEASE. I'm currently using /usr/share/syscons/keymaps/fr.macbook.acc.kbd but it's not satisfying: can't find antislash, tilde, pipe, etc. Any help appreciated!

I always have to workaround problems with new media- and gaming-keyboards or mouses. I can't run them well enough for office-usage or gaming. I can't configure my keyboard-illumination and no media-keys are working, special keys are also not running. Very similiar to mouses, the old mouse-driver...

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...
