Hi,

I just got a DL380G5 that needs to run FreeBSD 6.0. (GENERIC kernel)

The problem seems to be that the "HP Virual Keyboard" is stealing the
keyboard and when I attach a USB keyboard it finds the keyboard but is
"dead".

If the keyboard is inserted at power on, it will works as expected. If I
both have a USB and ps2 keyboard connected and remove the USB keyboard,
the ps2 keyboard starts working.

I have tried to disable the USB in the BIOS and use a ps2 keyboard, but
with no luck. I have tried to find a way to disable the USB support in
FreeBSD.

Anyone had similar problems and know a way around this?

Since these servers will later be located in a datacenter, I cant have a
usb keyboard connected to each server all of the time.

/Bjorn
