Why do you include HIL keyboard support?

do you need serial mouse support?

and why do you include HIL mouse support?

I don't know the 725, but from what I understand it uses (GSC) PS/2, so you
attach keyboard and mouse directly, without any converters. Is that correct?

If this is the cause, get rid of all HIL drivers and use PS/2 exclusively.
I think using a combination of HIL and PS/2 drivers might cause some
sort of driver confusion in your case.

I'm confused here!

AFAIK if you are using HIL, you ONLY have to use the HIL keyboard/mouse
drivers, PS/2 is a different thing and is not involved at all.
(I hope I don't say anything stupid here).

So far I thought that you cannot attach a PS/2 mouse to a HIL adapter,
you can only attach HIL devices ... (at least this is the case for my 730)
