You do not need legacy support for the PS2 keyboard. (The round
plug.) Legacy support makes a USB keyboard look like a PS2 keyboard
to the system. The fact that you had a USB keyboard when you
installed should not make a difference.

Here is an interesting problem that links with this thread.

I have one machine that is around 6 years old on which I have f11 working
perfectly well (previously it was f10 ) but one issue still remains.
Plugged into a rear usb port is the sender for a radio mouse. The mouse has
newish batteries and works fine with everything running and powered up.

However if i power the machine off, and then restart the machine (Dell
Dimension 2400 desktop) the screen is unresponsive to the mouse movement or
buttons unless I unplug the radio sender that is plugged into the usb port,
and reconnect it.  Immediately the mouse then works as normal!!  I seem to
remember that this was the case when I installed f11 also - in that I booted
the install media and the mouse failed to respond at the graphical install
stage until I unplugged and replugged the radio sender.  Is it likely that
this is a BIOS setting issue as well?
Less likely, better check your /var/log/messages file for something related.
