if the driver is available somewhere it is probably fairly easy to
make it work with debian kernel. sometime it's not that easy to get the
HW working, e.g. when I got the SATA HD I had to spend time on lkml,
apply patches (well, use ac kernel with manually applied libata5
patches) etc. lot of fun. and now e.g. extra button on logitech mouse
doesn't work (worked fine with 2.4.x but 2.6.x is too smart (more like
smart-ass)).
Which Logitech mouse? I'm assuming it's PS/2 since USB mice work more
or less the same (evdev is recommended for USB). I co-wrote the 2.6
Logitech PS/2++ driver and also maintain a Debian package[1] for the
logitech_applet which controls USB functions.
