[gentoo-user] USB Keyboard

[Hendré Claassen]

Hello,   I’m new to the Linux world and have chosen Gentoo as my weapon of choice.  After compiling my kernel, and rebooting into my new Gentoo system, the keyboard seized to function.  I have compiled the USB Human Interface option into the kernel … the keyboard functioned perfectly when I booted with the Universal CD.  Obviously I’m missing something … any help will be appreciated.   Then just on a general note … I earn my living as a MS windows developer and must say that Gentoo/Linux have rekindled my interest, I feel like a kid again … cant wait to get back home in the evening and crank up my computer and play around.  Linux is alive; I really hope that I will be able to make a living out of OpenSource in the not too distant future …   Thanks,   Hendré.
