Re: [gentoo-user] USB keyboards and the kernel

2003-07-11 Thread Leonid Podolny
I personally had no luck with my keyboard at linux untill I compiled
_everything_ keyboard-related  in (USB support, HID, host driver -- 
everything). No modules, everything in.
Just a remark: how can the company which makes such crappy OSes, make such
fantastic keyboards?!

Subject: [gentoo-user] USB keyboards and the kernel


 I want to use a USB keyboard with my Gentoo box.  (I have no other type
 of keyboard.)  Should I compile support in the kernel, or should I just
 use modules?

They don't make the keyboards; they outsource all their hardware and just
sell it with their name on it.

You may not need to do anything. On most newer Award(?) BIOS's, there is 
an option under Advanced for USB Keyboard support. This makes a USB 
keyboard look like a regular PS/2 keyboard to the OS.
