There's a standard one that 3Com ship for anyone with a USB port and a
Palm cradle - they don't actually have a USB cradle for Palms, so this
is their solution. I don't know what "kind" it is tho.
The last time I built a 2.4.x kernel the video borked horribly; there
was a flashing cross on the screen, it would respond to keyboard input
well enough for me to type "shutdown -r now" and that was it. I guess I
could try again :)
