usb keyboard and mouse

opensuse 11.0 and KDE3.5.9

Does anyone know if the problem of the keyboard and mouse not being detected
early enough still exists. I know there were wants on install of 10.3.
Search of archive only talks about earlier versions.

It can ALWAYS be a problem if you’re hardware bios doesn’t support them
before OS boot. There are some other variables and a large array of
variables from the plethora of USB solns out there… but in general
I believe it works.

Thanks I’m about to commit to a new motherboard and system that only
supports usb mouse and keyboard. I’ll check the bios specs.
