Message-ID: <peter.713456527@hilly> Date: 10 Aug 92 14:22:07 GMT Organization: MicroMuse Limited, London, England. Lines: 26 I have a Twinhead 486/33 laptop (good value for money...) running 386BSD-0.1, sort of. The problem I am having is that if I let the unit boot up, the keyboard doesn't work *unless* I hold a key down at some stage duting boot (shift does the job fine). The keyboard is supposed to work like any other, and they are running commercial *NIX on it OK. Anyone seen this ? I have looked around in pccons.c and the like, tries checking return codes from the kbd_cmd etc, but all seems OK. The specs are: Twinhead Slimnote 486/33 8Mb RAM, Phoenix BIOS, 80Mb IDE disk, VGA LCD screen, Unpatched pccons.c etc. Please help... I can live with holding down the shift key during boot, but I would like to find out what's wrong (should I hassle the manufacturers yet ?).
