In general, yes. If you're running Linux, you're running (generally) a current version of X. If you plug in more than one USB keyboard, they should all work, I believe by default (though it can be distro and configuration specific. > And then be able to map the second keyboard for actions to carry out > tasks within Rivendell?

If you try to do keymapping with a stock keyboard in a multiple KB setup, you might have trouble; the standard tools probably can't get a handle on which keyboard the keystroke came from. The Xkeys are programmable, so you could set them to macro sequences or F-key sequences which you could catch safely in X. Cheers, -- jra -- Jay R.
