Finally I solved it :) I suspected something was wrong with the usbhid |
| 34 |
module. So, out of curiosity, I booted up a live cd just to see whether its |
| 35 |
kernel will properly initialise the combo. Of course, it did :) The rest was |
| 36 |
easy - I found out the kernel had registered the combo as "Sunplus Wireless |
| 37 |
Desktop" (and not Trust), so a quick look at the .config file revealed I |
| 38 |
should enable sunplus hid support. |

No luck on this point yet. But now that I can organise my desk I'll look |
| 57 |
into it |
