[ltp] mouse and keyboard in the ps2 port using a splitter?

[Michael Asbridge]

I tried switching them round to mouse in the k port and keyboard in the 
M port but then neither works,
my splitter is a belkin compusa too. I am wondering if there is problem 
with the keyboard which is quite
an old ibm one... will have to try another newer one but don't think 
thats really going to make a difference...
you got such  a splitter working with linux bill? if so which 
distribution and vmrf? Must be something I'm doing wrong somewhere...

I'm running mandrake 9.0
