What's wrong with me?
I don't know what's wrong with you, but as regards your computer:
disable kbdmux and use a PS/2 keyboard.
I've been comforted by you that there's nothing wrong with me.

Glad to help :)

Well, FreeBSD Developers' Handbook needs to be updated now.

No, kbdmux needs to be fixed so it works in DDB.


actually, atkbd(4) needs to be fixed to support "polled" mode :) however, this kbdmux(4) hack will, hopefully, make it work for everyone.
