My son got a new, fancy Razer gaming keyboard for his birthday today.
The keyboard works in grub so I can choose Windows or Linux. It works
fine in Windows but once Gentoo is booted it does nothing.
I see that the device is recognized in under /proc and the device is
seen in lsusb but the system doesn't seem to understand that 1532 is
Razer and that 0102 is their Tarantula keyboard. This is also true for
their Copperhead mouse with is 1532:0101.
Is there a way for me to indicate to the system that these ID's should
use regular USB mouse and keyboard drivers?
Thanks,
Mark

Maybe there is a page around somewhere about how to deal with new
USB device IDS under Gentoo? Using slocate I found this file:
/usr/share/misc/usb.ids
There is no entry for Razer and no use of the Vendor ID 1532:
<SNIP>
1520 Bitwire Corp.
152e LG (HLDS)
e001 GSA-5120D DVD-RW
1546 U-Blox AG
1554 Prolink Microsystems Corp.
<SNIP>
Looking at the Microsoft entries it would appear that I could edit
this file and probably get lsusb to recognize the device by name but
what makes it link to the right mouse or keyboard driver?
<SNIP>
045e Microsoft Corp.
0007 SideWinder Game Pad
0008 SideWinder Precision Pro
0009 IntelliMouse
<SNIP>
Thanks in advance,
Mark
