I've seen some darn peculiar behaviours with PCs that are set in the BIOS to use PS/2 keyboards, yet the owner only has a USB keyboard. Sometimes the BIOS is accessible, with the BIOS emulating PS/2, but once you boot a PC it's no longer emulating a PS/2 keyboard, the OS uses an USB keyboard as an USB keyboard. Othertimes the BIOS is inaccessible. I wish they'd get their act together, they've been around for quite some time. -- (Currently running FC4, occasionally trying FC5.)
