How would I turn on that support?  I've tried the "Experimental Drivers"
and I did not the option to turn that on ...  This is with the stable
2.2.19 sources from kernel.org ?

Also - I have another issue with kernel compilation.  Using Ben H.'s PPC
specific tree from penguinppc.org, I am in the following quandry:

- If I DO NOT use the INPUT_LAYER option, XFree 3.3.6 won't recognize my
mouse device ( /dev/mouse soft-linked to /dev/input/mice).  On trying to
launch X, I get the "Fatal server error" - no such device /dev/mouse.

- If I DO use the INPUT_LAYER option, my keyboard does not work at all
(this is from a console as I boot into runlevel 3) and I have to reboot
and switch kernels to recover function.

What do I need to do to have Ben's kernel (2.4.4) recognize my Lombard's
keyboard ?  Thanx.
