Hey All,
On all of the 7.0 series of FreeBSD I had trouble with my USB mouse and keyboard. Last time I tested it 200905 x64 snapshot everything seemed ok. But I just tried 200906 x64 snapshot tonight and now when the the install menu starts up asking you to select your country my keyboard is all messed up.
I hit the down/up arrow and sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes the key action is reversed, for example the down key will jump up 3 lines in the countries list instead of down 1 postion. TAB on the other hand seems ok and moves focus through the buttons at the bottom
I'd like to make a post to current mailing list with relevant info about the problem so hopefully it gets fixed before 8.0 is released if it hasn't already.
Does anyone have some pointers?
I am redownloading the snapshot from 200905 so I can get the working dmesg output and provide that along with a a broken one from 200906. I am also downloading a snapshot from
http://pub.allbsd.org/FreeBSD-snaps...cdrom/8.0-HEAD-20090623-JPSNAP-amd64-dvd1.iso
to see if it is already fixed later in the month.
Regards Petz
