Apparently, this keyboard does have the TX pin hooked up... I tried a
kernel with the pcvt console driver, and it seems to work just fine... my
LEDs light up now :) So, it looks like there's some sort of
incompatibility between pccons and some keyboards... 

BTW, my new keyboard is one of those ergonomic split keyboard things, and
the "6" key is on the right side of the split... I've always used my left
hand to type the "6" though, have I been doing it wrong? :)

Hm, that sounds pretty strange... perhaps it's a defective mouse? I've got
a Logitech Mouseman, and it works great for me...  it's hooked up to the
PS/2 mouse port on an ASUS P55TP4XE pentium motherboard.
