USB or PS/2 keyboard? On PS/2 ... I've had problems on various versions of Linux on my BigSur where the keyboard doesn't work. Unplugging and re-plugging the keyboard (and then typing a few characters) always seems to unjam it. On USB ... I often fail to get all the config options right to enable the keyboard ... but that's a personal problem. -Tony
