Hi Ludo,

is correct, removing 'usbkbd'.

I only use 'rmmod usbhid' to reload the module of the internal keyboard.

i test configuring from the scratch the machine and it´s working:

(operating-system
  (host-name "antelope")
  (timezone "Europe/Paris")
  (locale "en_US.UTF-8")
  (kernel-arguments '("modprobe.blacklist=usbkbd"))
.....


if i reconfigure:

  sudo guix system reconfigure /path/to/configuration.scm

is not working.


regards
