USB Linux on the iMac

kroah sent us a quick message from the Linux-USB list:"Some good news for those of you with iMacs: I have got the keyboard and mouse working on my iMac with Inaky's latest snapshot plus some modifications. The patches can be acquired here. uusbd-imac-981209.patch.gz - patches to the recent uusbd snapshot. Note that Inaky and I are still working on merging this stuff back into his tree, and not all the issues are resolved yet, so it is all liable to change. kbd-981208.patch.gz - a patch to the linux kernel source to add support for multiple keyboards. This patch should apply cleanly to recent kernels (either the official source or the vger source), i.e. 2.1.129 or later. I plan to release a precompiled kernel for the iMac along with some installation notes soon." Linux/iMac running 2.2 for Christmas?
