The 2.3 kernels have support for USB, the SuSE people have also done a
backport of the 2.3 USB code to the 2.2 kernels.
http://www.suse.cz/development/usb-backport/
There is someone (whose name escapes me right now) on this list who has
published 2.2.14 kernels with these patches.
I'm running a 2.2.14 kernel with these patches applied:
dvd+ide (from www.kernel.dk)
reiserfs
usb-backport
udf filesystem (from www.kernel.dk)
The UDF patch needed to (in a few places) be applied manually, presumably
due to the mods that the reiserfs patches made. It wasn't anything
terrible though, and I'm no kernel hacker. The other 3 patches went in
smooth as silk.
The total diff from a stock 2.2.14 kernel (for the patches I did) is 3.3 MB.
Currently running with a USB Intellimouse Exploder^H^H^Hrer. It works
very nicely, and my accuracty with the railgun in Q3 has improved because
of the USB mouse.
