Morning.

Just a quick refresher, my keyboard will work in Haiku only one time in 20.
I've modified the bootscript to display ls /dev/input before and after the
section where it launches the input server (with a sleep 5 both before
launching and after launching), and they show an empty directory.  I've
managed to get a syslog, though I needed a "sync" in the bootscript to flush
file buffers.

This syslog was generated with a USB keyboard (Saitek Eclipse), with BIOS
mapping.  Previously when I'd borrow my girlfriends PS2 keyboard, I would
also get the one boot in 20 working.  When I boot in safemode (using
fake_app_server and consoled), the keyboard works fine in Haiku.

Hope the syslog.log gets through the freelists mail server.
