[ubuntu-uk] PS/2 port detection
not strictly Ubuntu but would anybody be able to explain how the BIOS detects PS/2 devices. I'm setting up a media center PC with no keyboard and keep getting stuck with a 'no keyboard detected, press F1 to continue' message, depending on how the devices are connected this *could* be as simple to fix as shoving a resistor into the socket.

I rather think that it does. Were someone to view this leakage as something generally bad for society, it's a bit odd to expect them to support its legality. And, given the stated intention of the leaking, I think it's a bit rich to expect of the targeted governments anything but attempts to stop it. I'm also having trouble understanding why this is entirely legal, but I've never been particularly good at identifying legal loopholes. -- Avi. -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
