Comment on Dell SK-8135 keyboard not working during boot (POST, BIOS, GRUB) on OptiPlex 990 by David

I had to resort to using Windows on account of not being able to find the relevant Dell BIOS headers for the Optiplex 990 in anything but an .exe format. I’ve previously had full success with Optiplex 755′s and Linux BIOS updates (see link on this page: http://davidjb.com/blog/2009/01/linux-graphics-card-woes-bios-issues). Unsure whether that method is suitable for these newer machines, though.

Whenever I download the driver from the link in your blog it fails to extract for some reason. It downloads OK from the Japanese site. Ubuntu 11.10 currently, though I believe it happened to me on previous versions of Ubuntu also. Thanks for the article; printing frustrates me to no end everytime I come across a fresh Ubuntu install at JCU.

[...] This RSS feed will (or should) only ever feature just 1 item ‘ the latest version information for the firmware. So, it won’t handle keeping track of history, but if you (or I) add the feed to something like Google Reader, that will keep track of changes to the RSS feed for us/me.
