Comment 15 for bug 318465

I've got this on two machines, and have for several versions.

The only way I've found is to press the button on the dongle and on the
keyboard with each bootup. It's discouraging.

One machine is an AMD Optera with two processors and the other is a quad
intel - both 64 bit. Identical keyboards and an identical problem. Both
got fresh installs of 9.04 with no change in the problem.

Oddly I HAVE keyboard and mouse on BIOS and GRUB. But after it starts to
load the kernel, no more keyboard. Mouse is fine.
