Only suggestion I have is to try other USB devices to see if they work. If so, then the problem is with the mousies or their drivers. For the record, I have a Compaq R3240 and (before returning it to HP due to video difficulties with Linux) I had an R4000, both AMD- 64 computers. I have always used nothing but 64-bit distros. The first distribution I tried was Suse 9.3 on both. I hate touchpads so, even before the machines arrived, I went out and bought a Logitech wireless optical USB mouse, the "for notebooks" model. I have used it from the beginning and it always worked perfectly with both computers. I can plug it in and unplug it at any time and it always just works. If I forget to plug it in when booting, no problem. I just plug it in and it works. So does the touchpad, even if I have the switch turned off when booting. So now at least you know it must be possible to get it working. Unfortunately I can't tell you how, because I never did anything to make it happen. I am currently using Ubuntu-64 Breezy, which auto-detected and configured everything. (Well, except I don't know about the modem, the card reader, or the firewire port, because I have never tried them, and I had to finagle the wifi with ndiswrapper.) _______________________________________________ LinuxR3000 mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pcxperience.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linuxr3000 Wiki at http://prinsig.se/weekee/
