Ah, yes, erm, it was late (or early).

It's a non-branded jobbie from Novatech.  AMD Athlon 1800+ on a Via VT8233
(IIRC, my laptop's at home and I am not) chipset.  All I can tell you
above and beyond that is that it has a keyboard and touchpad!

In terms of Input Device Support:

Userland Interfaces
CONFIG_INPUT_MOUSEDEV=y
CONFIG_INPUT_MOUSEDEV_PSAUX=y

Input I/O drivers
CONFIG_SERIO=y
CONFIG_SERIO_I8042=y

Input Device Drivers
CONFIG_INPUT_KEYBOARD=y
CONFIG_KEYBOARD_ATKBD=y
CONFIG_INPUT_MOUSE=y
CONFIG_MOUSE_PS2=y

I think that's all the relevant stuff.  If you don't get anything from
that I can always put my .config and kern.log on the web somewhere :)

Cheers,

Carl
