I'm running Mandrake 8.0 (+ Mandrake Freq. updates) with a kernel 2.4.8-2mdk
on a Sony VAIO C1 (picture book) computer with no PS/2 connectors.

At the office, I have a Mobility USB hub with Ethernet, 2 PS/2, 1 serial, 1
parallel and 5 USB connectors. Every thing if working fine under Windows 98.

Under Linux, every thing is working but the PS/2 adapter. I explain.

If the usbkdb module is loaded first then the mouse does not work.
if the usbmouse module is loaded first then the keyboard does not work.

As it is one single device that handle both mouse and keyboard on the
mobility hub (see bellow), I suspect that if a driver hook up a device then
all interrupt s from that device go to this specific driver and as you can't
bind 2 drivers to one device then I'm stuck.

Is there a specific mouse + keyboard usb driver to replace the couple
usbmouse and usbkbd ?
Is there a switch to pass to insmod so several drivers can get interrupt
from 1 device ?
There are others "USB to PS/2" adapters. I'd like to know how it works for
them.

Thanks.
