Mouse&Keyboard with 45meg XPE Image

[JoP]

Hi all!

I've designed an XPE Image for an IBM ThinkCenter Model 8113-E8U.
I used the minimal components (minlogon, command shell, no cd-rom, no
audio, no video extra driver, no internet explorer!, minimum
services...)
The image succesfully run after the FBA, it's getting me to the Win XP
Command Shell in system32 as I wanted. The problem is that my keyboard
and mouse doesn't work.
My mouse and keyboard are two IBM device matching with my ThinkCenter.
My keyboard is plugged in the standard keyboard port.
My mouse is plugged in a USB port (I have all the necessary components
to support USB)

- Keyboard related components in my configuration :
Class Installer - Keyboards
CoDevice Installer - Keyboards
HID Keyboard Device
Keyboard Class Driver
Keyboard: United States English (Language components associated
with....)
Standard 101/102-Key or Microsoft Natural PS/2 Keyboard

- Mouse related components in my configuration :
Class Installer - Mice and other pointing devices
CoDevice Installer - Mice and other pointing devices
HID-compliant mouse
Mouse Class Driver
PS/2 Compatible Mouse

My xpe image is only 45meg!!!! I'm trying to do the smallest image I
can for this type of PC. So I don't want to add random component which
will increase the size of the image.
I tried to add the component "Terminal Server Keyboard Driver" and
"Microsoft Internet Keyboard Composite Device" and its dependencies,
but it not worked.

Thanks for any help you can provide!

I added the Winlogon Sample Macro and now my keyboard is working.
Why this macro as a link with the keyboard?
I looked closely to the macro, eliminate each components one by one. I
found that my keyboard works when the component <PCI Standard ISA
Bridge> is present in my configuration. Looks strange !!! Why my
keyboard needs this component?
I don't know the ISA technology, what is the link with my keyboard?
Thx if anybody can answer.

It's part of the motherboard, presumably the bit that talks to the keyboard.
