Most USB keyboards and mice require *LOWSPEED* USB 1.x support. This
is *IN ADDITION TO* USB 2 and/or USB 3 for harddrives/keys/etc. If you
have an Intel or VIA chipset, you need UHCI (USB 1.0) support built into
your kernel, like so...
Device Drivers --->
[*] USB support --->
<*> UHCI HCD (most Intel and VIA) support
If you have an AMD machine, select OHCI (USB 1.1) support...
