The mouse is a three button Logitech Mouseman. The keyboard is VA LInux oem that appears to be standard. Yast identifies it as type PC 104. The connectors go to PS/2 ports. I neglect to mention that I have two PCs and a mac connected to a Belkin OmniCube for common use of keyboard, mouse, and monitor. The monitor is a NECMultiSync FP950. Both PCs have been running RedHat without any problem.
It often happens that when the mouse isn't properly configured the x-server flips out and kills the keyboard too (sometimes it doesn't even start at all 'cos of the mouse), so your keyboard is probably configured properly. I don't know the 3-button LM mouse but I know that some of them run the config as the MS Intellimouse (mine is that). IMPS/2 protocol and PS/2 mouse should have the device configured; /dev/psaux. This is my mouse in the /etc/XF86Config file: -- Section "Pointer" Protocol "IMPS/2" Device "/dev/psaux" SampleRate 60 BaudRate 1200 ZAxisMapping 4 5 EndSection -- If you are a Linux newbie and you don't know how to boot up in text mode, or change into another virtual desktop to edit your /etc/XF86Config file with emacs or vi then let us know.
If you haven't got anything on a USB port then you shouldn't have to worry about some messages on it during bootup.
I would think so too. But it seems very strange that enabling the USB IRQ lets me get a lot further without a freeze of kb and mouse. I veriied this again yesterday.
Yes, that sounds a bit weird. I got an empty USB port on this box and I've got some strange messages concerning it, but I've never bothered about that and it doesn't seem to do any harm.
Thanks for your response .....Jack
