No acorn keyboard but we do have support the acorn The acorn RiscPC keyboard controller has a connector for the standard AT keyboard, so it's rpckbd.c + atkbd.c doing the trick there. > mouse.

And that way it'll be for a lot of other hardware - AT keyboards are used everywhere, only the controllers differ. That's the main reason for the keyboard (input) and keyboard controller (serio) driver split! -- Vojtech Pavlik SuSE Labs
