Good point, I've been using Real VNC. I've installed UltraVNC now and
looks like mouse & keyboard is enabled remotely, even after a boot
without real k&m connected. Thanks much.

>> Use Remote Desktop instead of VNC.

I tried but apparently has the same problem, maybe there is something else
playing a role here as Herbert says (BIOS, etc).

Good suggestion, only problem is I have to keep the k&m stored somewhere
for no use. For that price is much better than hacking my own device.

Yep, sounds like a good & cheap approach. If the software solution with
UltraVNC doesn't work for any reason in the long run, something like
this is certainly a guaranteed solution.

Thanks everyone.
