5 MS Wireless Optical Desktop on Xebian? - ID: 998251

Last Update: Comment added ( kaganar )

Details:

I have an xbox with xebian installed but no usb
mouse/keyboard as yet...

I am about to receive a MS Wireless Optical Desktop set
up and wonder if this can be used as a wireless
keyboard and mouse would be ideal for my xbox setup.

Can this be used, and what would I need to do to get
the config working?

Thanks

Paul
