I've been wondering for a while now why I can't connect a keyboard up
to a machine after it has booted... used to work, doesn't any more. Now
I know.
As much as I applaud the USB keyboard support, I think disabling the
normal keyboard by default when it isn't found to be connected
is a serious mistake. At the very least the normal keyboard driver
should be installed if no other keyboard is found.
