[ltp] External USB space saver keyboard with linux?

[Boyan]

Hello,

trying to integrate the external USB space saver keyboard with Hub (for
IntelliStation) in the tp 600x running linux (suse 8.0). Have no idea
how to do this, and X-configurator SAX does not recognise the keyboard
(88-keys). It has also an in-built track point with 3 buttons exactly
as the thinkpad. I guess the file /etc/X11/XF86config has to be edited
to account for the additional keyboard and mouse, but how?

Tried the keyboard with windows 98 and 2k also on a desktop and it
works (with the drivers supplied), so it is not a hardware issue.

Happy at any suggestion,
Boyan

PS: It is a real pleasure to type with this keyboard, remains the linux
issue.
