[Techtalk] USB kb/mouse with RH 7.3 kernel 2.4.19

[Doc Nielsen]

hey Nguyen

I've had the same problem on debian, when i tried compiling my own kernel.
Turning on USB debuging solved it, oddly enough.
Now my USB mouse and keyboard works again, with no problems at all.

CONFIG_USB=y
CONFIG_USB_DEBUG=y
CONFIG_USB_DEVICEFS=y
CONFIG_USB_HID=m
CONFIG_USB_HIDINPUT=y
CONFIG_USB_HIDDEV=y
