I agree with Harold. I expect that this system has BIOS emulation of USB keyboard/mouse to PS/2 style inputs, although you may need to enable it in BIOS like Harold suggested. When the UHCI host controller driver loads, it disables USB emulation, so you'll need to have usbcore, input.o, hid.o or usbkbd.o, and keybdev.o all loaded before the UHCI HCD if you are using modules. Or you can just build it all into the kernel. ~Randy ___________________________________________________ |Randy Dunlap Intel Corp., DAL Sr. SW Engr.| |randy.dunlap.at.intel.com 503-696-2055| |NOTE: Any views presented here are mine alone | |and may not represent the views of my employer. | |_________________________________________________| > -----Original Message----- > From: Harold Oga [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Tuesday, April 25, 2000 2:10 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: [linux-usb] abit bp6's QQ bios for usb on linux > > > On 07:56 AM 4/25/00 -0600, jc wrote: > >Hi > > > >I've been reading the posts, and but haven't tried the QQ > bios (for bp6) > >still on nj.
