Hi,

Some time ago I found a post by Aivils about Ubuntu:

I decided to give it a try, and although the isolateDevice option seems
to work, and I can get the mouse to work with the following:

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier      "Right Mouse"
        Driver          "mouse"
        Option          "CorePointer"
        Option          "Protocol"              "evdev"
        Option          "Dev Phys"              "usb-0000:03:00.0-1.2/input0"
        Option          "ZAxisMapping"          "4 5"
EndSection

I can't seem to get the keyboard to work in the same way:

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier      "Generic Keyboard"
        Driver          "keyboard"
        Option         "Protocol"              "evdev"
        Option         "Dev Phys"              "usb-0000:03:00.0-2.1/input1"
        Option          "CoreKeyboard"
        Option          "XkbRules"      "xorg"
        Option          "XkbModel"      "pc104"
        Option          "XkbLayout"     "us"
EndSection

Also using /dev/input/event does not work...

Did anyone try this with Ubuntu? I'm using the Hoary release, which
includes exactly the version of xorg aivils described in his mail...
Any hints/tips on getting the evdev to work with my usb keyboard is
very welcome!

I'm also wondering if there is an equivalent for the -novtswitches
option (which seemed necessary according Miguel Freitas pages), it
does not seem to be present.
Is there a place where I can find the patches mentioned above? perhaps
I can read in the patches how they should be used ;-)

Mark.
