FreeBSD + Supermicro SIMSO+ KVM

I

Innocast

Hi,

I've got a Supermicro SIMSO+ switch in my server. When I try to use the KVM over LAN to use the keyboard/mouse, that wont work. According to the manufacturer it's because USB isn't enabled on the server. How can I check where this is enabled or not, and how can I enable it? :)

Have you checked whether all USB sub-systems/functionality have been enabled in BIOS?

The GENERIC kernel in FreeBSD comes with a full USB implementation, so that shouldn't be a problem. Browsing through [cmd=]dmesg -a[/cmd] and /var/log/messages may reveal more detail about if and when USB devices are found/plugged/unplugged.

Looks like the system thinks there is another keyboard installed?
 
Nothing on the uhub/ugen front? This is what happens when I detach/reattach my USB KVM (which has a USB keyboard and a USB mouse atached to it):

Hmm, no "ugen" but I found this in /var/log/messages

That shows that USB is enabled at least I guess :-)
