Bug#715408: possibly duplicate: Bug#728936: Debian testing installer does not dectect USB keyboard

[Andreas Cadhalpun <andreas.cadhalpun@googlemail.com>]

Hi Manfred,

I tried to reproduce the problem on my Laptop (i3-2330M) with a Logitech 
USB keyboard, that Windows 7 reports as:
HID\VID_046D&PID_C312\7&26B80A52&0&0000

For me the external keyboard worked in the installer.

Furthermore I found the strikingly similar bug #728936 [1], where it was 
suggested, that this is a problem only on PowerPCs, but you had this 
problem with an i5 processor.

Thus it would be helpful if you could test, whether your keyboard works 
with current installers, or if the problem still persists.
To test this, you don't have to actually install anything on your 
computer, just burn the installer (or copy it to an USB stick) and 
check, whether the keyboard works in the 'Select language' screen.

Best regards,
Andreas
