openmoko works as an usb keyboard now

[Timo Juhani Lindfors]

Hi,

2.6.39 includes g_hid.ko that can be used to make the system appear as a
usb keyboard to some usb host. It seems this is a platform driver but no
platform in linux includes it.

http://lindi.iki.fi/lindi/git/linux-hid-gadget.git/

is a fork of g_hid that works as an out-of-tree module and not a
platform driver. I tested this with the unofficial
linux-image-2.6.39-gta02-gta02 2.6.39-1gta021 package from

http://lindi.iki.fi/lindi/openmoko/linux-2.6-gta02/

and it works! From /var/log/Xorg.0.log:
