Need hints to get keyboard working

[ghostwheel]

Hi!

 

I am desperately trying to get my tablet keyboard on an LE1700 to work. It is the type of keyboard that you can connect and disconnect from the tablet, and also includes a mouse (trackpoint) and a USB port. (it works without any problem in linux...)

As far as I understand, the thing shows up as a device with 3 interfaces. One is the keyboard, one is the mouse, and I'm not sure what the last one is.

I can see the interfaces, but beyond the interface, no keyboard or mouse driver is loaded.

A regular USB keyboard, and USB mouse do work on my computer (this is what I'm typing on now)

 

I tried to edit /System/Library/Extensions/IOUSBFamily.kext/Contents/PlugIns/IOUSBHIDDriver.kext/Contents/Info.plist

but that didn't seem to do anything. I'm not sure if I edited it correctly, or if this isn't the right file to edit.

 

Does anyone know how I can track down this problem?

 

Here is the relevant (I think) ioreg dump:
