Hi Zac, Thanks ... my problem was that the USB Host controller drivers was compiled as modules and was not loaded, duh. The normal USBHID driver worked like a charm ;)

In the kernel config you need CONFIG_USB_KBD=y or CONFIG_USB_KBD=m and if compliled as a module it will appear as this file: /lib/modules/$KV/kernel/drivers/usb/input/usbkbd.ko If that module exists you can make it autoload like this: echo usbkbd >> /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6 Zac Yahoo!
