Description:
I have a PS/2 -> USB converter for my keyboard. When I attach to my laptop, while it's running, xorg installs it, but I can't use it, since it doesn't produce anything. When I plug in before powering on my laptop, it works. Under Vista, it works when i plug it in when the machine is running.
I think it's a udev/dbus problem.

dmesg:
usb 5-1: new low speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 7
usb 5-1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice
input: Generic USB K/B as /class/input/input18

Reason for closing:  Not a bug
Additional comments about closing:  Seems to be the keyboard itself here.

When you boot into a normal console, does your keyboard work when you attach it outside of X?

I've booted with "init 1" in grub, and it didn't work either there.

any updates on this issue?

I have bought an usb keyboard, since it had issues under windows too.
So, we can close this...
