It probably will; it works fine with the X installer from a 5.4 DVD
(and it fails to work with the 4.8 installer - so the installer matches
the final build in the 4.8 case).
However the existing machine I want to use the keyboard on is already
configured and running 4.8 (it's a work machine, initially installed as
4.1 or maybe even just 4) and I'm not willing to spend the time needed
to rebuild it as a 5.5 machine and then reinstall and add 5+ years of
customisation... maybe if I had more than 5 minutes of free time in my
working day, but I can't afford the downtime the rebuild would require
(I'm lucky if I can even do a yum update when the next version comes out!)
