Hi,
Yes , he can install from a DVD with an old school keyboard, but it
fails with an USB keyboard. (Although he gets a black screen at the
end, but I believe that is a x org problem that is solved by
introducing a xorg.conf file)
It is not so much the case to get a workaround that is interesting, it
is to find the root cause and solve it so it does not repeat itself in
the next openSUSE.

Hi,
at what point does he see the problem? I remember something similar happened on my workstation (Dell Precision) with 11.0. I could not even move the selection in grub when starting from the installation media.
I did not pay much attention because I needed to install it quickly, so I simply plugged a standard keyboard in, and then the USB keyboard worked with the installed system.
Is your case similar? Can he install from DVD?
Best, A.

Hi all,
I have a case from a Norwegian openSUSE user who has switched from openSUSE to another distro due to HW incompatibility on 11.2
He has a Logitech USB Compact Keyboard K300 keyboard on a ECS AMD690GM-M2 keyboard. His problem is that the keyboard does not work so he can't do the instalation. He has treid both the Gnome and KDE version of the live CD. He is running Ubuntu, PCLinuxOS ++ on the same configuration.
The user believes that it is based in some USB/ACPI related configuration on openSUSE, but he is no tech. expert. He does state that without ACPI=off he can not even get to the install picture/screen in the beginning.
Does anyone have any similar experiences?
Anyone that can help debug the problem?
Regards Birger.
