How to update my USB modules
Hi,
At work I use two machines, a linux box running Redhat Enterprise WS and a Windows box running XP Pro. I have a usb keyboard and mouse and a flatpanel monitor, which run through a 2 port KVM switch to each machine. The KVM switch uses USB for the KM, as my windows machine doesn't have PS2 connectors.
The problem that I have is that when I swtich from Windows to Linux, about 75% of the time the keyboard and mouse become locked out. No amount of switching back and forth will unfreeze them. The keyboard and mouse always work ok in Windows, so I know the KVM is working correctly.
So, I figure the best start is to upgrade my kernel modules for USB. From what I can gather from lsmod and internet searches etc, the USB modules that I have loaded are 'uhci.hcd' and 'ehci.hcd'. My problem is that I have no idea where I can find the updated versions of these modules, or how easy they are to install.
Neither of my work PCs are (or can be) connected to the internet, so the auto update features of Redhat cannot be used.
Thanks for any help people can give!
Tom
