Not necessary: I see the device identified by the console messages correcty as a "USB keyboard". But banging at the USB keyboard adds nothing to the screen ouput (not even garbage characters). The PS/2 keyboard is okay. So is my USB mouse (under X). I have the "hotplug" package installed (in in its default setup). Could this be a problem? I'm thinking maybe I'm having a module loading order problem (this was certainly the case with my TV tuner card under linux 2.6). So I'm looking to clone the /etc/modules or /etc/hotplug* of someone with a successful linux 2.6 + USB keyboard setup. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

USB keyboards and linux 2.6
Does anybody have a link to a quick howto on getting USB keyboards to work with kernel 2.6? All my google searches on the subject turn up links on kernel 2.4, which tend to list kernel modules which aren't available on 2.6. The "best" advice I've gotten thus far is to disable the kernel's entire USB subsystem! That is, let the BIOS handle the keyboard via legacy DOS support. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
