I can't do kbdcontrol -i < /dev/kbd1. It says /dev/kbd1: Device not configured My first thought is that my keyboard is not a usb keyboard. It is a Microsoft Natural. It has one cable that at a point splits into 2. A PS/2 and a USB plug. Does anyone know if the USB plug is just for the USB hub that is built into the keyboard, or if it can be used to drive the keyboard. Also, does anyone have any advice for a decent, preferably ergonomic usb keyboard? I don't have a ps/2 port on my port replicator.
