Thanks for the replies on the splitter. I decided to get a USB setup
with PS2 connectors (thought the receiver has a splitter but as it turns
out it doesn't).

So I'd like some handholding getting the USB perirpherials working. I
assumed I would just modprobe usbkbd and usbmouse and then redirect to
/dev/usb* but the devices aren't used.

Is there a thinkpad bios problem here?

What kernel arguments will select for the usbkeyboard? How do I switch
them on the fly?

I'm in the middle of my last law school exams and my wrists, ug.. I
appreciate whatever help you guys can offer. Thanks...


# I should probably recompile. I'm not sure if I included the general
HID support or what but recommondations are appreciated.
