    Unplugging the keyboard will not reset it. The keyboard rate (as set in
BIOS) is sent to the keyboard only buring the POST process. After that, the
keyboard is on it's own. Everytime I switch systems (with my A-B-C-D switch)
my keyboard resets to it's SLOW rate. In Novell, I don't care about keyboard
speed, I have to tell Winbloze to reset the keyboard speed manually...

    I haven't gotten that far in Linux yet. Anyone know if in Linux you can
reset the keyboard speed without resetting it?
