Keyboard (Corsair K50) works at BIOS but doesn't when ubuntu boots
Keyboard is a Corsair K50, have owned it for the last six months and it has worked really well.
Last night it stopped working on boot, interestingly during the BIOS boot up I can press DEL, F12 or ESC and get into the various setups and loaders but as soon as ubuntu loads the keyboard stops working. Even when I go through to Advanced Options and try running safe mode, the keyboard works until it then offers options of "continuing boot" or "managing packages".
The keyboard is flashing it's num/scroll/caps lock keys which according to a little dig around of the web suggests that the keyboard is in "BIOS mode", I've tried a few suggestions on the forums in terms of key combinations but I have a feeling this is a ubuntu driver issue.
I've also plugged the keyboard into a Windows machine, although the flashing lights persist the keyboard does type and work.
Any assistance to get this working again would be appreciated as it's a really nice (and expensive) keyboard.
