Putting the USB stuff in modules seems to do the trick. Ta muchly. Question could be - why didn't the 9.2 istall process do this when it recognised them? -- Sandrokottos

Thanks for the reply. My XFConfig-4 has Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Mouse1" Driver "mouse" Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2" Option "Device" "/dev/usbmouse" Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" EndSection So I think that this is OK The mouse and keyboard talk to a wireless receiver plugged into USB, the keyboard seems to be OK. My etc/modules only has the SCSI adapter, I'll try adding the USB stuff suggested. I'll check the BIOS as well. -- Sandrokottos

This sounds oddly similar to my problem with a Genius Optical Office mouse/keyboard combo - see thread posted today (8th December) -- Sandrokottos

SATA support is included in 9.2. I'm using it now -- Nick Walster

I have a Qubic 3401 SFF machine. 2.6 GHz 800 fsb Pentium, 1 GHz 400 MHz RAM, 160Hz SATA drive with the above mouse/keyboard. On booting, the mouse isn't always found by Mandrake 9.2, with all the updates. Checking the logs this coincides with failed insmod for the mouse and hid. Recovery involves completely powering down, reboot on it's own doesn't help. Yes the batteries are OK. It works OK with Knoppix and (yuk) XP. The mouse is a PS2 protocol, wheel mouse on usb in XF96config-4. I've tried setting other usb mice in mousedrake but it's doesn't help. A standard PS2 mouse into the PS2 port is fine.
