What you describe is how we do it here, for various machines. (This particular machine has 1.7.0 for keyboard, but iirc it's 1.8.x for at least some others.) And all works just fine. > Is it a must to install these tarballs? > I guess you could try using e.g. the evdev driver: but - at least here - that tends to only be used in a *udev environment; and iirc has dependency on some *udev stuff - would need to check notes to be sure. > Is there a better solution? For what you outline above, it should work very well for you. For anything not outlined above: depends on what you're wanting to be doing hth, akh -- -- http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
