Hi,

I just tried a hardware direct ADB kernel for the first time
in months yesterday and wound up with a non-functional
keyboard.  Everything works fine under the MRG kernels.
The keyboard in question is an Adesso ergonomic keyboard
(I think they called it a "NuForm" model).  The relevant
excerpts from dmesg are as follows;

under MRG:

adb0 (mrg) \^H \^H \^H \^H: 3 targets
aed0 at adb0 addr 0: ADB Event device
kbd0 at adb0 addr 2: extended keyboard
ms0 at adb0 addr 3: Mouse Systems A3 mouse, 3-button, 300 dpi
kbd1 at adb0 addr 2: mapped device (128)

under hwdirect:

adb0 (direct, II series): 2 targets
aed0 at adb0 addr 0: ADB Event device
adb0 addr 218: unknown type device, (handler 115) unsupported
ms0 at adb0 addr 3: Mouse Systems A3 mouse, 3-button, 300 dpi

Is there anything I can do to provide more information?  I do 
compile my own kernels and can try any patches provided...

Thanks in advance,
Steve
