How to detect if keyboard is connected? (Developers)

Well, I got info that I would need to mess with USB to detect the KBD on this HW so I rather decided to write simple utility for detection a VGA (BIOS). If VGA is detected the console is not redirected to COM port (without checking kbd but it's linked together). For my case on 86duino it does the job.
