my bad(tired)I left out iopl(3);
in the code which was giving a segfault.

running the below code(s) just gives a command prompt

int main() {
	iopl(3);
	outb(0xfe, 0xcf9);
	return 0;
}

int main() {
	iopl(3);
	outb(6, 0xcf9);
	return 0;
}

int main() {
	iopl(3);
	outb(6, 0x64);
	return 0;
}

int main() {
	iopl(3);
	outb(0xfe, 0x64);
	return 0;
}


(and yes I made sure I did this as root!!)

Im wondering if KBD_STATUS_REG is wrong on this machine?
