Hi all,
attached is my patch to enable the external keyboard (mailboard) It should be applied to the 2.6.16 kernel tree after all the other patches on noodles site.

Nice work. I've put the patch up in the same place as the others and added it to my prebuilt kernel. Oh, and I confirmed the modem still seems to work ok (seeing as it's on a GPIO IRQ as well).
http://the.earth.li/pub/e3/2.6.16/
has the current set of patches.

Trying this, I find that the events don't seem to be processed through the console. Do I need to do anything to enable this? I have SERIO_AMS_DELTA switched on, but there doesn't seem to be an entry in Input Devices->Keyboards.

It used the standard AT keyboard driver. You will need CONFIG_INPUT_KEYBOARD, CONFIG_KEYBOARD_ATKBD, CONFIG_FIQ and CONFIG_SERIO_AMS_DELTA in your .config (there are all in ams_delta_defconfig)

Huh --- I did look at the defconfig file, but it never occurred to me to look at that bit (after all, the mailboard is most decidedly *not* a PC AT keyboard)...
It might be useful to stick in a couple of sentences in the CONFIG_SERIO_AMS_DELTA help text saying that you also need AT keyboard support, to avoid this kind of confusion later.
Anyway, I'm looking forward to trying it --- the 6x11 console font is startlingly clear and easy to read on that little screen, and I suspect that with the keyboard it'll make a rather nice network terminal.

Actually, it is- it's a PS/2 device. It just happens to be connected to some IO lines, rather than a FIFO, like it ought to be.
