So, I recompiled the kernel (3.3) with bsd support - keyboard and track
ball work fine IF...
 Unfortunately there are big problems:
- in order for usb to work in bsd I need to disable support for usb
mouse/keyboard in BIOS, if I do that I loose my (minimal) usb support in
Linux which runs on the same machine.
- also as of 3.3 unplugging usb keyboard/mouse kills them for good. I need
that (essential) functionality since I share the monitor mouse and keyboard
between the PC box and a PPC box.
My question is: does the latest version have proper usb support and if so
where can I get a cd of it?
Downloading is out of the question since I have a 56k modem.

Another comment I want to make is in reference to the "stability" of Gnome
which as of 3.3 which is inexistent. Do the more recent versions show any
improvement?

Regards, Andu
