I have a ECS K7S5A motherboard. I have the computer connected to a Linksys SVIEW04 electronic KVM switchbox. The mouse will not move during the install.
The exact same port was used without any problems with an Asus A7V motherboard. An Asus A7V133 motherboard currently hooked up also has no problems. I forget what the last computer connected to it uses for a motherboard but the mouse also works without problems on it. I installed the latest Lycoris distro (out of curiosity on the K7S5A and the mouse works perfectly fine.) I disconnected the mouse lead from the motherboard and hooked up an old two button Micros~1 mouse and Mandrake 9.0 beta 4 was perfectly happy with it. (Same behavior when I tried with Mandrake 8.2) At one point I had it working very briefly with Mandrake 8.2 through the switchbox but do not know of anything different I may have done. Any ideas? The only reason I bring it up is that the mouse works fine when installing Lycoris. (But MANDRAKE is what I want to play with!) Most of my systems are Durons and I really wanted to see the Athlon XP 1800 fly... But if I can't get it to work right I might have to turn my wonderful new "powerhouse" into my 3yr olds Windoze box... (And take her old one)
