I tried both... e.g. wskbd0 and wskbd (multiplexed device) in my xorg.conf. 
Both are not working and I got waste in an xterm. Somehow even the mouse moves 
if I push a key... But don't know which key it was ;-)

I have the same output here...

No, I have only 2 usb- keyboards here... You are right! I don't know why but I 
got 3 devices with my "old" installed system. Now I have two keyboards:

wopr# dmesg | grep wskbd
wskbd0 at ukbd0: console keyboard, using wsdisplay0
wskbd1 at ukbd1 mux 1
wskbd1: connecting to wsdisplay0
wskbd1: disconnecting from wsdisplay0
wskbd0 at ukbd0: console keyboard, using wsdisplay0
wskbd1 at ukbd1 mux 1
wskbd1: connecting to wsdisplay0
wskbd0 at ukbd0: console keyboard, using wsdisplay0
wskbd1 at ukbd1 mux 1
wskbd1: connecting to wsdisplay0
wskbd0 at ukbd0: console keyboard, using wsdisplay0
wskbd1 at ukbd1 mux 1
wskbd1: connecting to wsdisplay0


I tried to config a kernel with wsmux disabled but that don't work (or I made a 
mistake). I can't do input with this config in console (I think it will be 
normal).

Some ideas?
