yeah, thanks for pointing me out this possibility, probably I should have
think about it myself but ... I am using *BSD only for fun, linux is my
system for serious work.

as to the values only after your e-mail I've googled for atkbd flags and found
out that there are four bits to be set (or not) i.e. altogether 16 possibilities
out of which I've tried (setting as above in /boot/loader.conf) so far 0, 1, 2,
3, 4, 5 and 8 still to no positive result :-(

I cannot say anything about the failed kernel as I need to get to the system
from network and at the moment I am down to this single computer. On other
hand on Mon. I'll reach my work where I'll be able to connect it to the
network and then get to it from outside :-) So then I'll be able to say more,
also then I'll be able to send dmesg of it.

the old, working version is v6.4.0.69.gddada0-RELEASE and the dmesg of this
one I'll try not to forget to attach to this e-mail.

Best regards and thanks for propmt answer
