Other Help Topics :: USB Keyboard
Has anyone tried using usb keyboard under damnsmall?
Im Looking into buying a DVI switchbox but it only supports USB for KB and mouse. So it would be nice to know if it will work in advance.
Never tried that, but you'll want to check your BIOS settings as well to make sure that you have that as an option.
Hope someone else can answer specifically about DSL tho, I'd like to know myself.
My guess is that it would work with DSL but your BIOS must support USN keyboard or you will be unable to enter any boot commands at the initial prompt. Of course, if you don't use any special boot commands you could just wait for the timeout and the automatic bootup should begin.
Borrowed a USB Keyboard from work, after tweaking som bios options it worked just fine
