Does your keyboard have a PS/2 adapter or does it have one of the old-style din connectors? /g ----- Original message ----- From: "Greg Meyer" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Sat, 28 Aug 2004 15:19:14 -0400 Subject: Re: [newbie] mouse & kboard dont work On Saturday 28 August 2004 03:12 pm, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Hi i have an old keyboard "gateway2000" (the one that has 12 'f' buttons > onn the far left), and a relatively new simple laser logitech mouse. > It's USB, but I use the P/S 2 adapter that it came with.

I went bak and turned all the services off. It worked. But when I startup X, the mouse(functioned just fine when testing during the installation), and the keyboard stop working. Yes it's a PS/2 keyboard. The Mouse is USB, put there's a PS/2 converter on it. PS/2 is the around-8-pin round thing I hope:) O.
