Just for kicks, can you reboot re-run the display setup wizard? Then choose "vesa" as your driver for now, and<br>
log into the desktop. If you then hit ctrl-alt-f1, does the keyboard work?<br></div></blockquote><div class="im"><div></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">

Also, what type of keyboard is this, PS2 / USB? I'm trying to understand if this is a video driver issue, or<br>
a hal/dbus issue.<br>

<br>I suspect that this problem is something unique to this type of machine (HP wx8200 workstation) . I have an identical computer which exhibits the same I-cannot-get-to-console behavior. However, PCBSD 7.1.1 on a "more vanilla" 2.0 GHz HP Vectra VL-420 and other computers readily goes into console.<br>
<br>What is "different" about this computer from my others is it has dual Xeon processors and a high performance nVidia video adapter. Although it has a SCSI controller and a mix of several different kinds of hard disks, I have other computers with dual processors (PIII - not Xeon) and with SCSI with a mix of several different kinds of hard disks (SCSI & IDE) where I have no problem at all going to console. I have no other problems than the going to or from console.<br>
