I'm having an odd problem with the keyboard on a PC I recently
acquired. It's a 600 MHz PIII, probably about 6 years old or so.
It originally had Windows 2000, and the keyboard worked fine. (It's a
standard PC keyboard, no USB interface or anything funky like that.)
When I tried booting Knoppix 3.9, the keyboard worked from the initial
BIOS screen (I was able to hit DEL to enter the setup menus), but once
Knoppix came up it wouldn't respond to the keyboard.
I installed Fedora Core 4. After the system boots, it won't respond
to the keyboard. But if I then unplug the keyboard connector and plug
it back in again, it works. I tried another keyboard, with exactly
the same symptoms.
Any idea what might cause this -- or, better, how to fix it? How well
does Linux support USB keyboards; if the support is good, can I assume
that a USB keyboard wouldn't have this problem?
