2.6.12 USB Keypad still not working

[Sid Boyce <sboyce@blueyonder.co.uk>]

PhoneSkype USB Phone SK-04.
It gets detected, is registered in /sys/bus/usb as a Keypad. Everything 
else USB works including the phone handset. Nothing is detected by 
showkey when keys are pressed.
# less /sys/bus/usb/devices/usb3/3-2/3-2:1.3/interface
Keypad

/dev/usb/hiddev? and /dev/input/keyboard say they are not valid devices 
and they are the ones created by the SuSE 9.3 install, not by udev.

 From dmesg
 ----------
usbcore: registered new driver hiddev
drivers/usb/input/hid-core.c: timeout initializing reports
                              =============================

usbcore: registered new driver usbhid

input: USB HID v1.00 Joystick [CH PRODUCTS CH PRO PEDALS USB ] on 
usb-0000:00:02.1-1.4
I am puzzled by the fact that the keypad is recognised, but I cannot do 
anything with it.
