   As some on you know the input api drivers for the PS/2 keyboard/mice
have gone into the dj tree for 2.5.X. I need people on other platforms
besides ix86 to test it out. I made the following patch that forces the
use of the new input drivers so people can test it. Shortly this patch
will be placed into the DJ tree but before I do this I want to make sure
it works for all platforms. Here is the patch to do this. Thank you.  

Oops.

Out of those 3 ARM machines, only 1 or maybe 2 has an 8042-compatible
port.

CONFIG_PC_KEYB != i8042 controller present.  Please look more closely
at stuff in include/asm-arm/arch-*/keyboard.h

I posted to find out which ones. BTW we have a driver for the acorn
keyboard controller. No acorn keyboard but we do have support the acorn

The acorn RiscPC keyboard controller has a connector for the standard AT
keyboard, so it's rpckbd.c + atkbd.c doing the trick there.

mouse. I can create a patch so you can give the mouse driver a try. Also
help on porting the acorn keyboard driver would be helpful, any docs on
it. 

Not needed. It's atkbd.c. And that way it'll be for a lot of other
hardware - AT keyboards are used everywhere, only the controllers
differ. That's the main reason for the keyboard (input) and keyboard
controller (serio) driver split!
