usb generic devices and recognition
Hello,
I would like to know whether generic usb devices are recognized easily with linux. I am expecting to buy a keyboard a mouse and a hub, using these on my laptop (an inspiron i5150 from Dell). My laptop has only 2 usb ports, and thus I have to use a hub in order to use a keyboard a mouse and my printer. Can somebody advise me about this ? I ask you this because I didn't have any problem with a generic PCI USB/Firewire combo card I installed on my old desktop with RH9. But I don't know much about problems I could encounter. Cheers, Xround. |
could go either way,
most usb hubs i've tried in slackware, under 2.4.20 2.4.22 and 2.6.0-test11 kernels have worked fine, and HID devices the same.. |
thank you for your advise, miaviator.
I will get these with a bit more confidence. Cheers, Xround |
I have a logitech Mouse and Keyboard Wireless combo and they are USB and they work great. So I would think general things are easy. My problem is pen drives.
