i see these sometimes, too. a formerly working apple full sized wired keyboard has stopped working with these errors. i assume it's something tricky. however, 9atom has some keyboard/mouse fixes that might be worth checking up on. the original version asked for pretty big descriptors from the device, and many devices generate transaction errors, or otherwise do bad things™ when asked for a descriptor bigger than they envisioned. the solution is to ask for the minimum size descriptor plus enough space to get the descriptor length, then ask again with the device-provided length. - erik
