This custom driver package [zmouse_0.1_arm.ipk] should do the same thing.
Restart the Zaurus (or just restart Qtopia)
Alternatively, you can also install inputhelper [inputhelper_1.0.1-1_arm.ipk] which will give you
mouse support as well as macro recording for your keyboard.
Enabling USB Keyboard
Yes, you can plug your USB keyboard into the Zaurus and it will work, but some of the keys will be
mis-matched unless you are using a Japanese keyboard because the Zaurus' default keyboard
layout is the Japanese keyboard. You need to remap the keyboard so the keystrokes matches that
of the USB keyboard, but this of course will mess up the build-in keyboard on the Zaurus. You will
need to switch between native keyboard and external keyboard mappings. You cannot have both
keyboards mapped correctly at the same time unless your USB keyboard has the same layout as
the Japanese keyboard or you hack the usbkbd kernel module.
keymap settings.
To manually control the keyboard remapping run the following to enable the USB keymap:
# usbkey enable
To disable the USB keymap and revert back to the original map, type the following:
# usbkey disable
In addition, you can also modify the keytable so that on a USB keyboard, the numeric keys on the
keypad behave just like you press Shift and a number key on the top row. To get this behaviour,
you need to install dualkbd_2.4.20_arm.ipk.
Enabling Joypad
You may be able to use your USB Joypad. Install the joyenabler script [joyenabler_1.3_arm.ipk]
and plug in your joypad. If you are lucky, it will work and you can use jstest to check whether it
works correctly. Now you just need to find some games that support joypad controls. You may need
an additional joypad driver for your particular joypad if it does not work.

If you want to remap the keyboard so that it is correctly mapped for an
external USB keyboard, then you need to install usbkbd-en
[usbkbd-en_2.4.20_arm.ipk] which once installed will automatically
switch your keyboard layout depending whether your USB keyboard is
plugged in or not. So with this replacement driver installed and its
associated scripts, if you plug in a USB keyboard, your keymap will be
automatically remapped for a US/AU QWERTY keyboard. When you
unplug the keyboard, then the keymap is reverted back to the previous
