In practice this is not true. When plugging the keyboard and display directly into the machine after boot everything works fine. I'm not using a mouse. I would not expect the PS/2 mouse to work, however I would expect the keyboard and video to work. Whether or not it's good to be 'hotplugging' these devices is a different issue. jason -- "Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former" - Albert Einstein
