I got a special usb kiosk keyboard/mouse device that is not being recognized by the Porteus Kiosk iso. The keyboard works in bios (and windows OS) but immediately stops working when booting to the Kiosk iso.

With a standard keyboard/mouse things work fine.
Am I looking at need to have a custom iso created?
Or, is there something I can do when installing to get things to work?
I only need the special kiosk keyboard to work after everything is installed on the system.
Build I'm Using
Porteus-Kiosk-3.1-i486.iso
Keyboard Mouse not Recognized

Re: Keyboard Mouse not Recognized
The keyboard and mouse work fine in Lubuntu.

Re: Keyboard Mouse not Recognized
i guess the keyboard is identified as:
and i think it's about this driver:
which may be related to:
and they are missing in kiosk.
will try to search google how to enable 'mac_hid' in the kernel (i couldn't find an option for it, probably it depends on some other options) and add to next kiosk release which is scheduled for December.
if you need it working earlier then please contact me through commercial 'customized builds' service:
http://porteus-kiosk.org/builds.html
and i'll compile customized kernel for you (within a day or two) for previously negotiated price.
thanks
