Every other 2.6 based distro, besides knoppix 3.8.1 is unable to activate my keyboard. The keyboard works fine with 2.4 kernels and other OSs. Even knoppix 3.6 and 3.7 would work with 2.4 but not 2.6. So I'm trying to figure out what patches and configuration knoppix 3.8.1 is using that allow my keyboard to work.
Does anyone know if knoppix uses a vanilla linux kernel, or if certain patches are applied [and where I could view these patches]? Any ideas on what Knoppix might be doing that allows my kbd to work would be greatly appreciated.
