Yeah. I am having a hell of a time with HP keyboards, and I would like very much if you can help.
With 7.3 we roll a pretty stock 2.4.19-pre (called 2.4.18-4.x), so there is practically no difference in this area. You may be better off looking at stock kernels because the problem is not Red Hat specific.

Yep. "rmmod hid && insmod hid" fixes it, and this is what makes it hard to debug. However, your hint about the disconnect is very important.

This is also needed for Linux: LILO or GRUB won't work unless this is enabled. Kernel does not care, naturally...

It is linked from this bug: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=55878 Here's the link: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/showattachment.cgi?attach_id=39264
Please make sure that Vojtech is in the loop. I do not really follow the input and HID code (after months of trying :).
