Re: problem with XFree86 keyboard

[dave g. <giv...@ya...>]

I booted my kernel with 'dumbcon=2' when trying to 
get things to work and when running dmesg to get the
output below, but I've also tried 'dumbcon=3' and
'dumbcon=7', which doesn't seem to change anything.
My kernel is a vanilla kernel-2.4.22 with the
backstreet ruby patch 2.4.22-20030910

The output of dmesg | grep Console:
Console: colour VGA+ 80x25
Console: mono dumb device 80x25
Console: mono dumb device 80x25

The entire output of dmesg:
