Okay, thanks, that's good to know. I'm aware that I'm mixing posts about video drivers in the same thread (that I started) about keyboard problems, but that's no accident: both topics involve kernel device drivers *and* differences between kernel versions. I think the two apparently different problems are related. <snipped for brevity> > Someone seemed to have backport the debian bug > into it as my logitech keyboard didn't work. Yes, I wonder if some of the problems I'm having are caused by the patches to gentoo-sources and/or ati-drivers that were committed by our gentoo devs, or are my problems coming from upstream? I have no idea. > After I enabled the HID > special support for Logitech, both mouse and keyboard now work > perfectly. Heh. I just ordered a replacement Logitech USB keyboard from amazon.com. I picked the Logitech because it was from a company (Logitech) whose name I recognize, as opposed to the other keyboards that amazon offers under its own brand. If my new Logitech keyboard fails to work correctly I will try enabling the special HID support in whatever kernel(s) I'm using at the moment. (Three days from now...who knows?)
