Unfortunately, it's KERNEL dependent. If you run kernel 2.4.xx, you must
compile with that kernel and use keyboard. If you run with kernel-2.6.xx,
you may compile with any kernel, but use kbd.
The problem comes from the fact that kernel-2.6.xx remains unstable, but I
had thought that it would become default kernel about six months ago.
Please join squash's (Josh Grebe's) campaign for a stable kernel-2.6.xx,
and the problem will eventually disapear. But right now, 2.6 is not
usable on U60(2x450) systems (personal knowledge), and on squash's systems
(as he reports). It's getting better, though.
I made a bad tactical decision (thought kernel-2.6.xx was stable, 2.4 was
just an artifact). I have been regretting it for six months or so, now.
Thanks for the report.
