Yes, it's a portuguese layout keyboard and some keys doesn't correspond with
the label printed on it.
That's OK, but the numbers is on the same positions on all western layout
keyboards, I think. And I remember some months ago that was possible to do
what I'm trying with this keyboard. The main problem is I can't input numbers
or even 'minus' signal to change input-device and output-device to ttyb and
do serial console.
I was thinking today because I removed mouse and keyboard and attached it
again when the machine was on. Are there hardware problems (damage) doing
this?
Thank you for helping.
