Subject: [gentoo-user] Keyboard works in Grub but not once Gentoo is booted

1 My son got a new, fancy Razer gaming keyboard for his birthday today.
2 The keyboard works in grub so I can choose Windows or Linux. It works
3 fine in Windows but once Gentoo is booted it does nothing.
4
5 I see that the device is recognized in under /proc and the device is
6 seen in lsusb but the system doesn't seem to understand that 1532 is
7 Razer and that 0102 is their Tarantula keyboard. This is also true for
8 their Copperhead mouse with is 1532:0101.
9
10 Is there a way for me to indicate to the system that these ID's should
11 use regular USB mouse and keyboard drivers?
12
13 Thanks,
14 Mark

51 Maybe there is a page around somewhere about how to deal with new
52 USB device IDS under Gentoo? Using slocate I found this file:
53
54 /usr/share/misc/usb.ids
55
56 There is no entry for Razer and no use of the Vendor ID 1532:
57
58 <SNIP>
59 1520 Bitwire Corp.
60 152e LG (HLDS)
61 e001 GSA-5120D DVD-RW
62 1546 U-Blox AG
63 1554 Prolink Microsystems Corp.
64 <SNIP>
65
66 Looking at the Microsoft entries it would appear that I could edit
67 this file and probably get lsusb to recognize the device by name but
68 what makes it link to the right mouse or keyboard driver?
