  An oft-asked question :) Unfortunately the code required is an entire 
stack:

   syscons keyboard/mouse i/f
   ------------
   adb keyboard/mouse drivers
   ------------
   adb bus code
   ------------
   adb host bridge code
   ------------
   cuda/pmu driver
   ------------
   via6522 shift-register messaging

  .. and to top it off, the whole shebang should really be able to 
operate in polled mode from top to bottom if DDB is to be usable.

  I guess it really needs someone focused to get it done, and to date I 
just haven't had the time :(

later,

Peter.
