 I would like to change out my keyboard--- can I do this without a reboot?
All my searching has come up with conflicting answers---and none are
complete. I just would like an answer--either yes or no, and how---note the
following
 PS/2 mouse+keyboard interface was originally designed, hot-plugging a
: PS/2 device is usually not a good idea. The specifics of what happens
: when you unplug a PS/2 device from a live system are dependent on your
: motherboard.
:
: Linux does not use the BIOS for anything once the kernel is loaded;
: keyboard handling is done in /usr/src/linux/drivers/char/pc_keyb.c .
: It may be possible to put a hack in there to call pckbd_init_hw() at an
: appropriate time.
those are typical of the google search and any other research I have
done---no answers only conflicting messages---all I wanted to know is if it
can
