Guest driggins Posted October 5, 2004 Report Share Posted October 5, 2004 Newbie here. During installation, Mandrake looked for connected USB devices, but apparently did not correctly attach my mouse and keyboard. Both are USB and neither worked during the install (had to get out the old ones to make it work). Is this typical? Now that installation is done, am I stuck with my old mouse and keyboard? Thanks, Daryl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ixthusdan Posted October 5, 2004 Report Share Posted October 5, 2004 usb should work, but the motherboard name and model # would help! B) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AussieJohn Posted October 6, 2004 Report Share Posted October 6, 2004 Did you go into the BIOS and make certain that "legacy support for usb devices was enabled" ??? The wording may not be exact but will be along those lines. It is usually set as default......... DISABLED. Also make certain that Plug & Play is also Disabled Hope it helps. John.

liquidzoo Posted October 6, 2004 Report Share Posted October 6, 2004 When you boot to the install, hit F1 (for more options) and type "linux expert" (without the quotes). I had to do that to get both my keyboard and mouse (both USB) working with the Mandrake 10.0 installation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
