How to set up USB keyboard in XF86Config

[EirikN]

Very Easy X Setup (video, mouse, keyboard): Use Knoppix to boot your machine and then do: "sudo su; mount -t ext2 /dev/hda2 /mnt; mv /mnt/etc/XF86Config-4 /mnt/etc/XF86Config-4-backup-on`/bin/date +%m_%d_%Y_%a_%I_%M_%p`; cp /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 /mnt/etc/XF86Config-4; umount /mnt; reboot" ...and take the CD out before you reboot.

Hmmm - perhaps I didn't explain clearly enough: I've installed Knoppix 3.3 on the laptop's harddisk, so the Xf86Config-4 files are exactly the same on /hda2 and the CD-ROM (with one small language modification). In other words, this wouldn't make a difference, would it?
