USB KVM breaks under 2.6.0

I have a Belkin Omniview SE 4, a four port KVM, with keyboard and mouse provided to a Linux box via USB.

Under 2.4.23, the device works well. The keyboard and mouse are detected.

Under 2.6.0 (Debian build), the keyboard is not recognized.

I have verified that hid and usbkbd are loaded, and if I plug a USB keyboard directly into the machine, the keyboard is recognized properly.

/proc/bus/usb is empty -- with 2.4, I would have gone there to verify that the device was seen. Is there any data I can pull from 2.6 which might help diagnose this?

Is /proc/bus/input/handlers the proper analog?

pbit:/proc/bus/input# cat handlers
N: Number=0 Name=kbd

NEVER use the usbkbd driver, unless you _really_ know what you are doing. Please read the config help entry for that item.

Did you mount usbfs there?

thanks,

I had two problems. Once the second problem was resolved, pulling usbkbd from the picture made operation more consistent between directly-plugged and KVM-switched keyboards.

For the second problem, the uhci driver changed names from 2.4 to 2.6. If others google(v) for this problem and find this post, you want the module "uhci_hcd" and not "usb-uhci" when going from 2.4 to 2.6

The original USB loader daemon I was using recognized the change, but the second I had tried and was still using did not. I've sent notes to ask Documentation/input/input.txt to be updated, and I've filed a bug against the second daemon.

Thanks for the help!
