What might work is to look for /pci/obio/via-pmu, if it exists and  
doesn't have an 'adb' child node then we know that the keyboard is  
USB, otherwise both ADB and USB may exist and we need the old  
guesswork. Yay /ps{eu|ue}do-hid.
Any chance to try a -current kernel for completeness' sake?
Also, I have a GigE G4 here which should be fairly similar to  
Quicksilver as far as keyboard connections are concerned - I tried an  
Apple USB and a Sun Type 6 keyboard - worked with both.

have fun
Michael
