Running FC1 with USB keyboard and mouse with no problems.
Just bought a new desk and re-arranged wiring so that my mouse goes
through a USB hub first to eliminate shore wire syndrome.
Everything still works fine in WinXP, but the mouse won't work in
Linux.
Anyone got any ideas why?
What does lsusb show?
James.
Okay,
so here's the story so far.
If I cold boot into Linux it doesn't work.
If I cold boot into WinXP then reboot into Linux it doesn't work.
If I cold boot into WinXP, - USE XP for a while - then reboot it does
work.
Below are the lsusb with the mouse working and without. Looks like thw
whole hub's missing in the first one as the Epson and joystick are also
missing.
The mouse is a Genius Netscroll Traveller USB ballless mouse. When
booting into Linux (even when it ultimately doesn't work) it flashes
are suitable points, such as on initial turn-on, after kernel load,
during device init routines, during service start where it includes:
Starting USB Keyboard [OK]
Starting USB Mouse [OK]

Gary buddy
I would say you have faulty memory.
Windows doesn't fill the modules the same way linux does. The fact that you
can run windows first is proof.
If there is a fracture in the circut of the memory, it will open when its cold
and close when it hot , why? because when metals and other substances get hot
they swell, and shrink when cold.
The fact that you can actually boot into windows and work for a while with
problems suggests that it isn't a fault on any other piece of hardware,
Anyway hope this helps.
Yes, download and run memtest86. You'd be amazed at how much cruddy RAM
is out there. Windows will run with some of it, Linux hates it.
