Description Benjamin Keil 2009-05-27 15:37:05 UTC 
The default genkernel configuration contains none of the modules like CONFIG_HID_APPLE and CONFIG_HID_MICROSOFT, which are necessary for people using those kinds of keyboards.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. genkernel --no-splash --symlink --install all
2. reboot

Actual Results:  
A Microsoft Natural Ergonomic Keyboard 4000 is not recognized as an input device.

Expected Results:  
The keyboard should be recognized as an input device.

Running genkernel --menuconfig and setting CONFIG_HID_MICROSOFT=m allows the keyboard to be recognized as an input device.
