Commenting on my own post ...

>I have switched ports back and forth, with the same result: The mouse works,
>the keyboard doesn't. :-/

Well, not quite true. I had booted into W2K to try something out, then
hot-unplugged the USB mouse and the USB keyboard, switched USB ports (that
is, put both devices back in), et voil�, the keyboard worked! Reboot to Linux:
the keyboard worked! Switched off the laptop, booted Linux again: keyboard
not working anymore ... It seems that it is _only_ working if I unplug the
keyboard while the system is running and then plug it back in, although that
is no guarantee that it continues to work after a reboot (sometimes it
does, sometimes it doesn't).

So the issue seems to be shaky hardware, so I'm still puzzled what
exactly is the nature of the problem. I'm even more inclined to point
towards the laptop BIOS now, since no piece of hardware seems to be
toasted. Maybe I should bring this issue up on the Toshiba support forum.

Thanks to Brad for his help!

Cheers,
Matt
