Hi, this is my first post here. Just installed Gentoox Pro on my Xbox last night, went like a dream. Big thanks to Shallax for all the work that he's obviously put in to this!

Since I'm new to this, I haven't got a USB keyboard/mouse yet. I'm looking to have a wireless onr and came up with the above. More info is available on it here --> http://www.byopvr.com/Sections+index-re ... age-1.html

I like this one because it has the mouse integrated into the keyboard, and as the linux xbox will be in my front room, I want it to be as neat as possible.

Has anyone had any experience with this keyboard? Do you know if it will work? I don't really want to buy it and find that it won't work at all! If not can anyone recommend an integrated keyboard/mouse style system?

Sorry for the very long winded first post! Thanks for the help

I'm actually looking at getting the exact same setup. Based on the little bit of research I've done there is a problem with the mouse buttons under kernel versions lower then 2.6.12. Unfortunately I can't find any defenitive answer as to which kernel Gentoox uses. I've found some sites referencing that it uses 2.4, but like I said nothing defenitive. If it is running an older version there appears to be a simple kernel patch that will fix it...

unfortunately I don't know enough about Linux to actually do that. So if anyone else out there can, or knows for sure that Gentoox uses 2.6.12+, I'd love to hear from you.
