Hi all,

I'm a Mandrake 9.1 user getting a "/etc/hotplug/usb.agent: ... no modules for USB product 5f3/81/270" kernel message. The keyboard I'm trying to get to work is this:
http://www.kinesis-ergo.com/advantage_pro.htm

Quoted 1 line

From the reading I've done on these pages:

http://linux-hotplug.sourceforge.net/?selected�bug
and
http://linux-hotplug.sourceforge.net/?selected=overview

I gather I've got to add something to the file
/lib/..../modules.usbmap..... but what? ;-)

I don't know anything about those IDs: specifically, I don't know how to map 5f3/81/270 to this long list: match_flags idVendor idProduct bcdDevice_lo bcdDevice_hi bDeviceClass bDeviceSubClass bDeviceProtocol bInterfaceClass bInterfaceSubClass bInterfaceProtocol driver_info

I guess whatever numbers I do plug in should have usbkbd as the usb_module, right?

FYI I have posted a selection of messages from /var/log/messages below.

Thanks and best wishes,
Damon

Actually, from what I see below your problems are
a lot more basic than this. The keyboard is
giving "usb-uhci" (and likely other HCDs) some
level of indigestion, by not responding.

Try using "uhci", not "usb-uhci", for starters.

Don't use "usbkbd", ever. That's likely not
the root problem here, but I see it in your
messages below. Use HID with the keyboard
input event handler.
