USB Keyboard support Another baby step has been taken to bring Linux on the Wii to a more useable form. This time we have added support for USB keyboards through the IOS keyboard interface available since IOS version 30. This has been possible again thanks to the keyboard (http://wiibrew.org/index.php?title=/dev/usb/kbd) article available at the wiibrew.org site. Version 0.4 (http://downloads.sourceforge.net/gc-linux/wii-linux-PoC-0.4.tar.gz) of the useless wii-linux PoC has been released to show this new feature.

Am I the only one excited as to what could come out of this program? I love the idea of linux or some operating system on wii. So many possibilites.

Heh heh.So, i have not downloaded this yet, but since it has USB keyboard support, do you still have to log in using the usb gecko?:confused: If so i am out of luck:(, as i do not own one.

Also, whats the chance that keyboard support could be added to things like ScummVM Wii? THAT would be awsome:D

This is awesome. I booted Linux up just to test and it worked great. When I have more time I will hook up a keyboard and see what else I can do. Great work!! I would love to see Gnome up and running someday.
