Keyboards and new PowerBook G4s [Was: Re: KBD_INSTALL_CDEV]

Hi Peter,

I did try it with, and without (the hint. line) with the same results  
(internal keyboard unusable). Could you please let me know how to  
find out which "slot" is responsible for the pseudo Bluetooth keyboard 
+mouse.

I have an iBook that also has that USB based internal keyboard and  
mouse without Bluetooth that I will test.
