After a lot of pain I got it running fine in X (gnome). I went home leaving it
at login screen.
Came back this morning and I couldn't click or type anything but I could telnet
to it. After rebooting, X-Windows no longer worked and I couldn't make the
mouse work. (linux sees it) I have seen Win98 loose the mouse too. In Win98
I could reset the mouse by unplugging it and re-plugging it. This didn't work
for linux.
I guess I have a lot of questions here.
1) why does usb access seem to time out?
2) how do I make linux see a usb keyboard without the PS/2 plug?
3) do I need to do some sort of mknod for the keyboard like I did with the
mouse?
4) why doesn't X see the mouse anymore? (do I need to repeat the mknod? )
Thanks...
