Yes, the input subsystem did change completely; only for the best, I may say (mouse can now be opened both from the console and from X without repeating, scroll wheel works out of the box, as do multiple mice...) The following kernel options should get you going: CONFIG_INPUT=y CONFIG_INPUT_KEYBOARD=y CONFIG_KEYBOARD_ATKBD=y CONFIG_INPUT_MOUSE=y CONFIG_USB_HID=y CONFIG_USB_HIDINPUT=y You'll probably need to modularize USB later, if you use hotplug, but that's another issue. Good luck! Francesco.
