	The usual case with Logitech devises is that the company will not own
up to them working with Linux, but they always do work fine. I buy
Logitech because it is good trackball, keyboard, ect. and I want the best.

	The Logitech keyboard I have has a PS2 connector which fits my
computer. If the USB connector does not work I think something else must
be wrong with the computer.
