Keyboard from PS/2 to USB

[SkyNet]

I'm using Slackware 8.0 and it will not recognize my USB Keyboard mainly because during installation I believe I selected ps/2 by mistake. Is there a way for me to make it so that Slackware is able to recognize and use the USB Keyboard?

Thx,

first make sure to have the usb device for your keyboard under /dev/input...might want to consult /usr/src/linux/Documentation/devices.txt for proper char numbers and create it using mknod if not already exists.Then you'll load the usbkbd or kbddev module (see /etc/rc.d/rc.modules USB section)...finally modify your XF86Config and you should be all set to use USB kbd :D.As always it's good to read some documentation,faqu's (www.linux-usb.org).Hope this helps.
