My keyboard isn't recognized when attempting to install Precise Puppy 5.4.3 from a CD iso. I see the message suggesting I tab if my mouse doesn't work. However, the keyboard doesn't respond at all; no mouse, Enter, or Tab.
The keyboard is recognized if I throw the boot switch and boot to command line only. I also tried acpi=off without success.
My keyboard is a usb UltraNav, but I've installed several distributions on this box and keyboard without incident.
Keyboard not recognized when booting to X (Precise 5.4.3).

I accessed xorgwizard to solve the problem. After going through video selection and testing X I chose:
<Tweak>
<Tweak_xorg.conf>
<Edit_xorg.conf>
I deleted the following line:
InputDevice "Synaptics Mouse" "AlwaysCore" #serverlayoutsynaptics
I then saved the file, exited xorgwizard and ran xwin. My keyboard was recognized. I'd hoped xorgwizard would be a touch more automatic, but I had to manually edit xorg.conf. There may be another way but that was my solution.
