USB keyboard & mouse on Sun Ultra 5 w/PCI USB card
I recently inherited a Sun Ultra 5 from my company which I would like to use
as a LAMP server. I downloaded the 13-CD sarge testing distribution
(official snapshot 11/07/04) and got the system up and running normally with
the Sun keyboard and mouse.
I have it connected to a 4-port USB KVM switch, and I bought and installed a
Belkin F5U219 3-port (2 external, 1 internal) USB 2.0 PCI card so that I can
use the USB keyboard & mouse instead of the Sun keyboard and mouse, which I
would really like to get off of my desk.
For the life of me, I cannot get the sparc to accept input from either the USB
keyboard (Microsoft Internet Keyboard Pro) or the USB mouse (Kensington
Expert Mouse Pro). When I plug in an external USB 2.0 CD-RW drive and type
cdrecord --scanbus
the CD-RW drive shows up just fine. Thus the USB subsystem appears to be
functioning in general. On bootup, I also get plenty of messages indicating
that the kernel found a USB keyboard and mouse. Under the double lines below
is an excerpt from 'dmesg' that looks relevant to me.
Does anyone out there know how to get a Sun Ultra 5 to accept input from a
PC104 USB keyboard and a USB mouse? Any hints would be greatly appreciated.
