Re: [leaf-user] 7.5.0-RC1 backup and no usb keyboard

[Jim M. <jv...@ho...>]

Hi all,
Looks the the kernel modules (drivers ->hid)  are missing after release 
7.3.1.1.  Looking forward to anyone that has a tool chain that can 
compile a 6.12.13 kernel with the hid modules.
Not totally sure on these modules but its my best guess.
Thanks
Jim
