USB Keyboard drives me crazy

[Oliver Derks <oli@mad-effects.de>]

Hi there....Module                  Size  Used by    Not tainted

...Im owning a good old Sparc 10 Ultra Workstation, and after a few 
month catching dust I decided to use it as an Workstation.
Not knowing in what I got myself into.....

I only wanted this stupid Logitech USB Keyboard to work, so I put in an 
USB 1.1 add-on card
here is the output of lspci

dmesg says:
input: USB HID v10.01 Keyboard [Logitech USB Receiver] on usb4:2.0
input: USB HID v10.01 Device [Logitech USB Receiver] on usb4:2.1

doing an "cat /dev/input/event1"
shows that the keyboard is obviously working BUT not on the console and 
NOT in X

here is my xfree driver section:Section "InputDevice"
       Identifier      "Generic Keyboard"
       Driver          "keyboard"
#       Option          "CoreKeyboard"
       Option          "XkbRules"      "sun"
       Option          "XkbModel"      "type4"
       Option          "XkbLayout"     "de"
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
       Identifier      "Keyboard"
       Driver          "kbd"
       Option          "CoreKeyboard"
       Option          "Device"        "/dev/input/event1"
       Option          "XkbRules"      "pc105"
       #Option          "XkbModel"      "type5"
       Option          "XkbLayout"     "de"
EndSection

The worst thing is, that not even the sun keyboard is working properly 
in X type 5 has an hillarious layout (try to login as "oli" without an l 
on the keyboard;( and type 4 (which is mine) is not working at all...

im using:
Linux pegasus 2.4.25 #4 SMP Sun Jul 4 18:45:51 CEST 2004 sparc64 GNU/Linux
which I made myself....

as Im typing Im compiling an 2.6.8er kernel..... hope that changes 
something....

I also tried using usbkbd but this is also no go....
can anyone help, or has similar experiences?????

any help appreciated

greetings
oli
