[KLUG Hardware] USB Hardward

[Wesley Leonard]

Did these work in any previous versions of Linux?

What brand of keyboard?

If you can get another keyboard on the system, poke around and make sure USB is
actually working.  Watch your startup screen and look for a green [ OK ] by the
USB startup message.  If you don't see a USB startup message maybe it's not
turned on.

I also get some messages like this:

usb.c: registered new driver usbdevfs
usb.c: registered new driver hub
uhci.c: USB Universal Host Controller Interface driver v1.1
PCI: Found IRQ 10 for device 00:02.0
usb-ohci.c: USB OHCI at membase 0xc8816000, IRQ 10
usb-ohci.c: usb-00:02.0, Acer Laboratories Inc. [ALi] M5237 USB
usb.c: new USB bus registered, assigned bus number 1
hub.c: USB hub found
hub.c: 2 ports detected
usb.c: registered new driver hid
hid-core.c: v1.8 Andreas Gal, Vojtech Pavlik <vojtech@suse.cz>
hid-core.c: USB HID support drivers

You might need to enable USB Legacy support in your bios or switch "Plug and
Play OS" to no in your BIOS.


Poke around in /dev/usb and see what you find...

good luck!
