Just the info I was looking for. Have you tried hot plugging as well? That's 
my primary reason really. Setup a file server with a 'local' keyboard that 
doesn't need to be there at all times. Probably do the same with an optical 
mouse. Thus no need to power off for the PS2 as you should know you'll screw 
your motherboard hot plugging a PS2.
Thanks all.

Stock kernel? Haven't used one since I learned to compile.

Yeah, that too. I'm telling you.. my Logitech joystick works great for XMMS 
control and cruisin' in Descent3. FlightGear recognizes it too but I'm 
clueless on flying a plane. :-)
