hello, i am trying to successfully use an USB keyboard on my FR.
The kb is plugged through a Ready-made mini type B plug to a type A jack 
cable (as detailed in the wiki

<http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Specialized_USB_cables>)
Logs report:

usb 1-2: new low speed USB device using s3c2410-ohci and address 86
usb 1-2: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice
input: HID Keyboard Device as 
/devices/platform/s3c2410-ohci/usb1/1-2/1-2:1.0/input/input7
input: USB HID v1.10 Keyboard [HID Keyboard Device] on usb-s3c24xx-2

input: USB HID v1.10 Device [HID Keyboard Device] on usb-s3c24xx-2

and sound pretty promising.

The fact is kb not responding at all although it works well on my 
personal laptop.
it is muted and i don't know the way for using it even if it seems easy 
to get it working when you follow
