My son got a new, fancy Razer gaming keyboard for his birthday today. The keyboard works in grub so I can choose Windows or Linux. It works fine in Windows but once Gentoo is booted it does nothing.
I see that the device is recognized in under /proc and the device is seen in lsusb but the system doesn't seem to understand that 1532 is Razer and that 0102 is their Tarantula keyboard. This is also true for their Copperhead mouse with is 1532:0101. Is there a way for me to indicate to the system that these ID's should use regular USB mouse and keyboard drivers?

MxPS= 16 Ivl=1ms Maybe there is a page around somewhere about how to deal with new USB device IDS under Gentoo? Using slocate I found this file: /usr/share/misc/usb.ids There is no entry for Razer and no use of the Vendor ID 1532: <SNIP> 1520 Bitwire Corp. 152e LG (HLDS) e001 GSA-5120D DVD-RW 1546 U-Blox AG 1554 Prolink Microsystems Corp. <SNIP> Looking at the Microsoft entries it would appear that I could edit this file and probably get lsusb to recognize the device by name but what makes it link to the right mouse or keyboard driver? <SNIP> 045e Microsoft Corp. 0007 SideWinder Game Pad 0008 SideWinder Precision Pro 0009 IntelliMouse <SNIP> Thanks in advance, Mark -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
