The tough part is guessing what "legacy" mode in your BIOS really is and 
what it really  means. For example, on an IBM box I have here (netvista 
8315), the "legacy" mode means using the PS2 connectors for the mouse 
and keyboard. Worse yet, you *also* have to find a separate setting on 
another page to enable the PS2 mouse. -I'd guess there are plenty of 
other "definitions" for "legacy" mode so it will vary from vendor to 
vendor and model to model.

The problem you described reminded me of the USB issues reported on the 
apple mini (intel) systems...

In the above thread, yesterday Theo mentioned some oddness when 
keyboards are being emulated as pckbd devices.

What happens if you disable the "legacy" mode in the CMOS settings?
