Yes, I did find those - when my sons' stock keyboard didn't work, and I got
the USB/adapter that finally let me into the BIOS, it was the first thing I
went looking for. Unfortunately, nothing I set seemed to make a
difference.
This particular BIOS has a clearly marked option to turn USB support off or on
for the mouse, while other "legacy" settings are a bit more convoluted.
Doesn't anyone else think its really odd though, that while the keyboard is
not recognized all the way through the bootup process, that just as soon as
Mandriva is booted, the keyboard works fine? (and yes, I've tried 4 or 5
diff. keyboards, all with the same result - and that keyboard works fine on
the other comps in the house).
