OK, thanks for tracking it down!

Yihaaaaaaaa! It does! Thanks a lot, and thanks to bcollins! :-)

Yes!

Yes!

P: Phys=usb-00:04.2-2/input0

No and no. BUT, it may be possible to tweak it. 

Basically, when I connect both mice or keyboards to the Tangtop, dmesg 
says things like:
keyboard.c [Tangtop Generic USBPS2] vc:1-16
input: USB HID v1.00 Keyboard [Tangtop Generic USBPS2] on usb-00:04.2-2
usb.c: hid driver claimed interface dfe5a300
keyboard.c [Tangtop Generic USBPS2] vc:17-17
input: USB HID v1.00 Mouse [Tangtop Generic USBPS2] on usb-00:04.2-2
usb.c: hid driver claimed interface dfe5a318

This is when I connected both keyboards to the Tangtop, logs at 
http://dev.kjernsmo.net/tmp/multi-user-logs-keybdtt1/

Here, the keyboard that is called "Mouse" is connected to the green plug 
on the tangtop. Conversely, when I connected both mice, one of them was 
called "Keyboard" and was connected to the purple plug. Indeed, the one 
that was connected to the "wrong" plug didn't work for me.

However, it isn't necessarily hopeless, because I saw in /proc/bus/
console/*/* that there were two keyboards detected, something that 
looks above that could be the case too. So I guess tweaking it could 
make it work without any programming. 

Unfortunately, the keyboard froze hard while I was exploring that, for 
some unknown reason, so the only file I caught was the usb/devices, 
included on my website. 


My preferred config works now, however, so I am myself very happy! I 
have just a couple of very minor things left (such as connecting an 
extension cable). Thanks to all who helped! 

Cheers,

Kjetil
