Re: [TCLUG:19320] USB Support in Linux

[<Nick.T.Reinking@supervalu.com>]

I've used the backport of USB for Linux 2.2 and it's worked
fine for me.  USB Mouse (IntelliMouse Explorer), USB Keyboard
(Microsoft Natural Keyboard Pro), the hub in the keyboard (see earlier),
and the regular hub (Kensington).

Everything seemed to work okay, although the keyboard was a bit
noisy at times.

The 2.3.x kernels have it in the tree... I built the modules and tried out
a USB keyboard (generic) and a USB mouse (microshaft) for fun a while
back.  The keyboard worked no problem... the mouse didn't.  Go figure.  It
did know that it was a mouse but not how to talk to it.  So much for name
brand hardware.

2.2.x doesn't have any USB out of the box so you'd have to get the
module code separately and build them.  The more recent distros include
USB with 2.2.x kernels, so that may well be an option if you don't want to
build your own kernel.
