  Most USB keyboards and mice require *LOWSPEED* USB 1.x support.  This
is *IN ADDITION TO* USB 2 and/or USB 3 for harddrives/keys/etc.  If you
have an Intel or VIA chipset, you need UHCI (USB 1.0) support built into
your kernel, like so...

Device Drivers  --->
  [*] USB support  ---> 
      <*>   UHCI HCD (most Intel and VIA) support

  If you have an AMD machine, select OHCI (USB 1.1) support...

Device Drivers  --->
  [*] USB support  --->
      <*>   OHCI HCD support

  I believe you're asking about "gpm".
