However, now I have to choose, and I'm not sure what's up: I've been using the codrv kernel that comes with the package, and it's quite the cool piece of software, but the XFree README.386BSD says that I still have to ftp some sort of keyboard driver. So, do I have to: a> do nothing---the supplied kernel has all this b> get the 0.2.1 patchkit, Holger Veit's Keyboard driver, and try to rebuild the kernel this way c> Something else that my small mind has missed...? If you can point out an unclear section of the README.386BSD I'll revise it. The keyboard driver is part of the kernel binary. So if you have the kernel with Holger's codrv and the corresponding X server binary there is nothing else needed. Rich
