The modules were not autoloaded. This is a minimal test environment 
with only a few binaries in the root directory. Is the "modprobe" 
binary enough for autoloading?

I just was able to try the situation: the modules are not autoloaded.

Does autoloading of other modules work well in the limited environment you 
have? I suspect this might be something with your special configuration 
(udev not triggering properly, etc.) rather than kernel problem.

Anyway, in 2.6.28, this keyboard is driven by specialized 'hid-bright' 
driver. Does modprobing it by hand fix the problem?

I'll try the hid-bright module as soon as my laptop gets repaired.

Loading the hid-bright module handles the USB keyboard properly.

Thanks for verifying.
