Okay, I've just about had enough.  This thing's really started to get on
me jubblies...

I've tried to configure and compile (and consequently run) 2.6.0-test5 on
this 'ere laptop.  However, I have the slight disadvantage in that the
keyboard and touchpad fail to work!  Having googled, the different docs
mutter something about having i8042 etc in the kernel, which I have.  I
also get:

Sep 18 01:25:52 intense kernel: input: AT Set 2 keyboard on isa0060/serio0
Sep 18 01:25:52 intense kernel: serio: i8042 KBD port at 0x60,0x64 irq 1

in the kern.log file (along with other stuff that indicates that it's
found the touchpad OK).  So my question is, why the bloody hell doesn't it
work?!

Thanks in advance, and all that :)
