Help text

The "Human Interface Loop" is a older, 8-channel USB-like controller used in several Hewlett Packard models. This driver was adapted from the one written for m68k/hp300, and implements support for a keyboard attached to the HIL port, but not for any other types of HIL input devices like mice or tablets. However, it has been thoroughly tested and is stable.

If you want full HIL support including support for multiple keyboards, mice, and tablets, you have to enable the "HP System Device Controller i8042 Support" in the input/serio submenu.
