>From what I can see the USB used is UHCI, doesnt say in the manual
what they use.


When I run WinXP It doesnt matter where I plug in the keyboard. In the
USB1, USB2 or with the USB->PS/2 convert in the PS/2 port there are no
glitches at all. It types like I do. So no added letters in the text
im writing.

When I run FreeBSD 4.8 I can install it using the keyboard in the USB
port, this I cant do with FreeBSD 5.1.
When I write text in FreeBSD * when pluged into the USB* ports I get
added letters like "this should be the text" "thisi shohuld be the
textx" (just example). How the letters are added seems random but it
happens more often the faster I type.

When I run with the USB->PS/2 Converter to plug the keyboard into the
PS/2 Port it works without any problems at all in both WinXP and
FreeBSD 5.1. I can install FreeBSD 5.1 and can type without any
problem.

So from my point of view as a user I can see three problems.
A) the usb support on my motherboard is bad to worse
B) something isn´t right in FreeBSDs USB support.
C) A and B in combination.

Or im totaly wrong :) and that happens from time to time.

I hope this info helps.

Peter
