Michael,
after trying all possible values of atkbd flags (i.e. all between 0x01 to
0x0f) I was not able to make that internal keyboard of this one laptop
(Z16) working for me. There is nothing interesting in dmesg's - I have sent
some of them to you around last Sun., I hope you've got them. I have more
available if needed but I cannot see anything interesting in them - it is
loading in atkbd (with flags as given) and ... nothing happens. Keyboard is
dead! Probably something switches it off while trying to configure as it
stops working only after kernel being loaded - loader still uses it OK :-(
The same laptop with FreeBSD (14.2) works not problem (at least keyboard),
same with OpenBSD (7.6 and lately 7.7 as well).
When I attach usb keyboard it works also without problems - probably that's
why I was not seeing problems with my stationary computer :-) And I kind of
hoped that after attaching USB keyboard I will be able to use the build-in
as well but no - only usb one works and after detaching it the build-in
still does not.
If anyone has any idea what I can try more to diagnose the problem I would
do my best to try it.
And I kind of came across some other problem with openvpn package: originally
it tries to configure tunX device but system answers that it cannot be done
dynamically. So as a hack I put a line
/sbin/ifconfig tun0 create
just before statring openvpn binary in the starting script
(/usr/local/etc/rc.d/openvpn) but I guess there is some better way to handle
this problem in package, no?
