Solaris 10 Keyboard questions

[newsgroups.comcast.net]

2 questions:

1: SunBlade 150, Solaris 10 - when using a "standard" Compaq USB keyboard,
it works until it sits idle for some time, then in order to wake it up, the
USB connector must be pulled and re-inserted. Is it possible to change
settings, install driver, etc to get these non-Sun keyboards to work
consistantly? BTW, the keyboards work fine on SunBlade 150, Solaris 8.

2. Ultra 5/10 series, Solaris 8/10 - The keyboards here are not the PS/2
type. When disconnecting the keyboard, the machine immediatly drops out to
"ok" prompt. Is it possible to use a non-Sun keyboard here (with eye to
implimenting a kvm settup), or is there a way to impliment kvm without
resorting to manually disabling and re-enabling the keyboard, then
physically moving the keyboard connector to the other machine.

There are sun-compatible KVM manufacturers that will not cause the Sparc
to abort when the host is switched.
