That's very interesting. So I poked around a little bit based on what you discovered. Namely that usbmodules behaves differently. Turns out that comes from the package usbutils. In portage there are four versions available: 0.71-r1 0.71 0.11-r6 0.11-r5 I thought perhaps it was a patch that Gen

No, for me that doesn't do anything at all. Not on older kernel, not on 2.6.15.1. I suspect that's just a fluke you're having. Do you have usbhid loaded before you run that command? And how do you know it's working? Do you get some output from jstest? And finally, what distro and kernel vers
