Hello!

Thank you for answering.
I found the 'xev' program and run it. Unfortunately, when I pressed the 
"extra" buttons, it didn't recognized anything. When I pushed the 
regular buttons (enter, tab, space), it wrote a lot of information. What 
should I do?

Some information (in case if You need them):

Logitech Internet Navigator, USB.
I have 2.4.21-rc2 kernel.
I'm using the 'uhci.o' and 'hid.o' module, and I have compiled in the 
'Input core support --> Input core support'
'                   --> Keyboard support'


Thanks!
