Donovan's problem may be different from mine.  On my system, that button
isn't selected.  I wouldn't have expected changing it to cause or solve
the problem, since the keyboard didn't work even in single-user mode
until I turned off legacy USB support in the BIOS.  Like Donovan, the
problem _did_ arrive at the same time as a fresh install of Fedora Core
4.
