[GLLUG] FreeBSD, USB, and a KVM

[Mike Szumlinski]

Anyone have any clue on how to get a USB keyboard and mouse to function 
in FreeBSD 5 with a KVM?  They both work if I boot the system with KVM 
switched to the FreeBSD box, but the instant I switch to a different 
system and switch back they don't work anymore.  Here is my usbd.conf 
file:

Anyone have any ideas?
