Hi folks, regarding the multi-head linux system build-
I'm wondering if the mouse and keyboard entries will work the same if i'm using one or more PS2 to USB adapters? The ones I found online convert both ps/2 mouse and keyboard to a single USB input. (Such as: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16812107701)
Would these cause any problems with differentiating/using the inputs for each head?
Thanks, Cubbs

Do a 'cat /proc/bus/input/devices' to be sure but the adapter should make the keyboard and mouse visible on separate interfaces.
