Subject: 2xPS2 -> USB converter works flawlessly

I never used USB devices under Linux, and barely used them
at all. But couple of days ago a friend of mine gave
me almost for free a mobo with fried PS2 mouse and
keyboard ports.

I bought 2xPS2 -> USB converter, compiled in USB
and USB HID support in 2.6.7-rc1-bk2 and you know what?
It works! Both keyboard and mouse! Even in X!

Mega thanks to Greg KH <[email protected]> and other USB
and hotplug folks!

Same here, but I'm so used to things working in Linux, that it really
didn't surprise me ;-)

OK, 2.6.6 here ... I'm lazy, waiting for 2.6.7 ;)
