Would I be able to use both the mouse (track point) and keyboard of a thinkpad keyboard under A13 and debian?

Has anyone ever used one?

Cheers

How are you planning to connect them?

It sounds so hard as to be impracticable.

Over USB? Did I miss something?

Mentioning USB would've been useful!

Probably workable but not heard of anyone else doing it so good luck :)

Hope someone tried it, as the touchscreen doesn't seem to work under Linux I'm relying pretty much on it.
