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.
