>Description:
When I put my notebook (IBM Thinkpad X40) on its docking station, I use
a USB keyboard, the rest of the time I use the keyboard built into the
notebook. Setting the atkbd flags to 0x1 is not enough to cause the system
to use the USB keyboard. I need a keyboard early in the boot process
because I use gbde and need to type my passphrase. 

	
>How-To-Repeat:
Boot the X40 with nothing pluged into the PS2 port on the docking station
and a USB keyboard plugged into the docing station.
	
>Fix:
Disable atkbd from the Beastie menu.
