I recently tried to apply the patch for the Microsoft Natural Ergonomic Keyboard 4000 (from here: http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/7/16/122 ) to the openSUSE beta1 kernel, to check whether the special keys would work with linux. All went nice until the last step of the modul installation with 'make module_install'. There I got the following message:

So it seems that there's some problem with the code and the openSUSE kernel? Despite this fact, I installed the kernel and booted it up, and of course my keyboard wasn't responding anymore. Can anybody help me here, please?
Applying random patches found around the internet is bad for your kernel and is totally unsupported by us. This patch is not working and does not apply to our kernel tree, we do not recommend it at all. Sorry about your keyboard, next time you might want to purchase hardware from a company that isn't so Linux unfriendly :) Oh, you do know about the opensuse-kernel list, right? That's the better place for questions like this in the future. thanks, greg k-h p.s. Yes, people are still working on getting this hardware supported, but it will be a while, it looks like much after 10.3 is out, sorry. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
