Hi Bret, I'm sorry. I didn't read your email before writing to the list again. this time I tried everything I could think of before posting.
current status: I made both, the keyboard and the mouse work once, but not stable yet. If you wish I can help in trouble shooting/debugging the drivers.

Is there a short how-to available? when I am finished i'll try to write a short guide that will answer most of my beginners questions. > Your most likely problem is that you have more than one UHCI host controller, > and you are only installing the driver for the first one, but your keyboard > is not plugged into the first one. > You can use USBHOSTS to tell you how many USB host controllers you actually > have. I have got 3xUHCI (1x Intel, 2xVia). There is an EHCI controller, but it's offboard so I am sure I did not plug anything into these ports. (btw, don't know how to load the driver for this host, since it has #0, too) I used USBDEVIC to check if there are devices on the host: just now it reports both, mouse and keyboard for host #0 (intel). after loading ctmouse the mouse works, but the keyboard doesn't. edit: when legacy is off, the keyboard LEDs turn on when loading USBUHCI #0, and off when unloading. once the devices were listed at host #1 (via) in this case, the keyboard worked, but loading usbmouse crashed the system. could not yet reproduce this config. what about the message: "initilizing ps/2 mouse" if this message is shown has nothing to do with a mouse attached or not. Still I got the problem with the PS/2 keyboard. As soon as the USBKEYB is loaded, roughly every second keypress shows two letters. This seems to be true for printable characters only.
