The reason I suggested it was years ago I had the same problem -- old computer, modern USB keyboard. The computer seemingly was designed to use the keyboard in the dedicated keyboard port only. Fortuantely, the keyboard had come with the appropriate adapter. I plugged it in and everything worked. FWIW: the keyboard NEVER worked using the USB port. even after I installed Linux. Have forgotten which distro. B
