What is the actual keyboard, I am using a logitech cordless USB connectedNow I can work with an USB keyboard connected to USB or with an "normal" PS/2 keyboard connected to the PS/2 pins via a standard PS/2 Slotblech Adapter.
via a PS2 adapter that works OK.
Is the power supply in the keyboard OKYes - as I said it works without problems, when I boot the 2.4.18 kernel
Is there power at the IR receiverYes
Is the receiver connected to the PS2 ports.Yes - The receiver is only connecet to the keyboard dataa and keyboard clock pins of the PS/2 connector., but that should be enough :-)
