At a guess, this may be fixed by a change in Linux 3.0-rc1: commit 2c78027a62ea38585da1ff944afdc6146335cb7c Author: Gabriel Paubert <paub...@iram.es> Date: Fri May 13 01:03:13 2011 +0000 powerpc: Fix for Pegasos keyboard and mouse This refers to a change made in Linux 2.6.36. Please can you test Linux 3.0-rc3, currently available in experimental?
