Yes, strange days indeed. USB support for mouse and keyboard is quite stable. You can compile it in 2.2.XX kernel by uncommenting an entry in Config.in Infact there was a query in the linux-usb mailing list about linux support on a PC which does not have any legacy Super I/O support and it seems its possible right now. I only hope that USB 2.0 is supported as soon as specs are finalised. As regards devfs, it is not going into kernel 2.4.0 but Mandrake Linux seems to have been using it as its default installation (correct me if I am wrong). I would highly recommend it.

As far as I remember , both IBM and xircom refused to provide the info for a long time. Same case with Matrox and Diamond. Linuxers boycotted such products and Matrox was forced to release the info. How things have changed! Yesterday , ATI said they would support an open source driver officially. Some time ago , 3Com did the same thing. Wish full USB support comes quickly too. That would be great for newer laptops. Incidentally , how is devfs? - - B.
