i got a MS natural pro with all the buttons along the top. kernel 2.4.14
doesn't seem to report the scancodes right when i use USB. it works
grand for PS/2 though. just use it as PS/2 and it'll be fine. i only use
the USB so i can plug the mouse into the keyboard. i use hotkeys to
map programs to the buttons,

regards
