I have both a usb keyboard and a usb wireless mouse/keyboard attached to 
my myth system. The wireless system is a Gyration brand system. On my 
Fedora Core 5 system it worked great all by itself  however with my 
Ubuntu system I get system strangeness unless there is also a real 
keyboard plugged in. No problems accepting input from both. The wired 
keyboard is also required if you want to change anything in bios.
