Hi,

I have a usb keyboard and a kvm. Doing nothing, the AT keyboard has
control. I can:

kbdcontrol -k /dev/kbd1 </dev/console

and get the keyboard to work. but if I switch to another computer and
switch back, it switches to the AT keyboard, and I have to run the
command again.

Is there a way to fix this, e.g. disable the AT keyboard?

About how to have the usb keyboard not get lost when I switch to
another computer on my kvm switch: Would removing atkbd support from
the kernel, and keeping ukbd support, get freebsd to not switch to
another keyboard when I switch to another computer?

Or if this is not the solution, are there any other solutions, aside
from reserving a keyboard and mouse for the freebsd machine?

I uninstalled freebsd, but am now considering trying it again, but I
thought I'd check first to see if anyone knows if this would be a
solution, or would I simply have no keyboad available at all if I
switch to another computer and back?
