Okay. That's good to know. I'll continue running off of a regular keyboard
for the nonce, but I'd like to switch over to USB before long. I think it's
a nifty technology, and I want to be using stuff I can swap between different
machines.

Hm. How about allowing user-selection of which keyboard is actually used, in
/etc/wscons.conf or something? That would solve the immediate need for easy
and immediate support, anyway, and could easily be deprecated once it no
longer matters.

Cool. Thanks.
