Logitech USB Keyboard/Mouse problems and fix

Hello all,

I recently installed DragonFlyBSD. At first I had trouble using my Logitech
Desktop Pro keyboard/mouse combination. The problem is the wheel, which was
not detected properly. Under Linux I can choose the IMPS/2 protocol, but
that is not available on DragonFly. Attaching it on the USB port has other
problems (mouse not working, keyboard ghosting characters). However, I did
find a fix at http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=3Dkern/63837.

Would it be possible to incorporate this fix into DragonFlyBSD? I changed my
copy of the source and installed the new kernel. The mouse is now
recognized and works flawlessly. The keyboard still repeats some characters
when typing fast. It is a big improvement though.

If you know of some other fix, please let me know. Maybe someone knows a
solution to the character repetition problem.

Thanks,
Roland
