dead keyboard in Xorg

I've installed FreeBSD 6.1 release on a Tyan K8SR
motherboard and then updated to RELENG_6.

I've installed the Xorg 6.9.0 port and fired up
the server where the graphics are from the builtin
ATI Rage chip.  Everything comes up as expected 
and the ps/2 mouse works.

However, the keyboard is dead.  I can get an xterm
up, give it focus, but typing yields nothing.  Killing
X reveals a bunch of gibberish on the console (ie.,
extended ascii characters).

I have tried 2 different ps/2 keyboards and two
different ps/2 mice.  I've enable/disabled the 
kbdmux and I've set atkbd flags in /boot/device.hints.

Nothing has given me a working keyboard.

I've also played with numerous xorg.conf files 
trying to isolate the problem.  I'm stuck.

Anyone seen this type of problem?

yes, on my Sony Vaio Z1 6.1-STABLE laptop (i386)

On (quite rare) occations - when booting on batteries
where the CPU is wrongly detected - I end up with XDM
running, and no keyboard.

If I don't start xdm during the bootprocess, but let
it boot all the way, THEN login as root and starts
xdm manually, then it always works fine. You could
try this.


When booting on batteries, the sys/i386/cpufreq/est.c
cannot determine the speed, and my 1700Mhz Centrino
becomes a 596Mhz, with speedstepping down to 74Mhz.
Maybe this affects timing somewhere, which causes
the keyboardproblem.
