Title: Usb Keyboard With Rc12
Post by: Cagilaba on December 02, 2005, 05:19:29 pm

Ok... this question has been asked a couple of times in other threads (including by me) but I haven't seen a response yet... On my C1000 I tried out RC12 with ROX and XFCE4 and found it absolutely GORGEOUS. I wanted to stay with it, but it seemed like my Fellowes Stowaway keyboard wouldn't work, and I really need it, so I switched to Cacko (which is great, but X is a real mini-laptop experience).

So, does anyone know if USB keyboards in general and the Fellowes kb in particular work under RC12? Am I just too st00pid to set it up right?  

Thanks in advance for your help!

Hmm... perhaps the answer to this question should be obvious, but sadly it isn't to me! I would be very grateful if someone could help me out here...

I seem to to recall that a standard usb desktop keyboard worked in rc 10 (more or less)
At the verry worst, you can get an inexpensive belin ir keyboard that will work fine.. and fold up very small, too. Sill....  it seems like it should be fine. maybe you need to lsmod/insmod for keyboard usbkbd or usbhid drivers?
