Well you know wrong then ;). I have a u10 with an add-in USB PCI card, and I use my USB keyboard on it without a hitch... the problem I've noticed is that you can't use both. Enable support for hid and usbkbd built as modules (Yes, BOTH). If the mouse doesn't work, you are probably affected by this bug and will need both (workaround for the problem is detailed on the bug report): http://bugme.osdl.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1459 Disable support for the sun keyboard or build it as a module but don't load it. You will not be able to interact with OpenBootPROM with the USB keyboard, so make sure you keep the sun keyboard connected for that. -- Jeremy Huddleston <eradicator@gentoo.org>
