OK, I have WinXP and Kubuntu Linux. When I boot, I am given the choice of all the different kinds of Linux or Windows XP. I'm told to use the arrow keys and hit enter to make a selection. However, my USB keyboard, for whatever reason, is disabled. NOTHING on it works. So, it times out and I get Linux. Which is great, except that I need to get into Windows. So, I dug through the garage and got out a PS/2 keyboard and plugged it in. It worked, but I want the USB keyboard to work there. Heck, if I can navigate CMOS and BIOS with my USB keyboard I should be able to do something later on... right?
But the story gets better. With two keyboards plugged in, I expected it to be like my two mice - they'd work synchronously. They do, but for some reason the Ctrl key starts rapid-firing and I have to unplug the PS/2 to get it to stop.
I'm doing a lot of switching back-and-forth between Windows and Linux until I get Konqueror set up properly. After that, I can just download and run my programs/patches/drivers, but until then I have to download them, make an image, burn to CD, pick it up in Linux, take a pic of the error message I get, burn it, go back into Windows... repeat... repeat...
My keyboard is a
Zboard. The PS/2 is a generic model, don't even recognize the logo. I've been forced to go through a ritualistic plug in of the keyboard, boot, remove the keyboard...
