Yeah. I am having a hell of a time with HP keyboards, and I would like very much if you can help. With 7.3 we roll a pretty stock 2.4.19-pre (called 2.4.18-4.x), so there is practically no difference in this area. You may be better off looking at stock kernels because the problem is not Red Hat specific. >[...] > After "rmmod hid" and "modprobe hid" The usb > keyboard works just fine - until I disconnect/reconnect > it or until the next reboot. Yep. "rmmod hid && insmod hid" fixes it, and this is what makes it hard to debug. However, your hint about the disconnect is very important. > The keyboard works with other OS, or with the bios > (after I enabled "USB Legasy Support"). This is also needed for Linux: LILO or GRUB won't work unless this is enabled.
