Hi, A user has reported that, after they set up Endless OS to dual-boot with Windows 7, their keyboard and mouse no longer work in Windows, though they work fine in our Linux distro. This is a BIOS system. There's nothing particularly fancy in our GRUB 2 config for the Windows boot path: we just chainload the bootable partition. lsusb output shows that they have a USB 3 controller (which is not supported out of the box in Windows 7, AIUI) but that their keyboard and mouse are attached to a USB 2 controller.
There are a few reports around the internet of this issue. One thread[1] I found suggests that disabling Windows' driver verification helps; another thread[2] suggests installing a USB controller driver update. But in both cases, the controller worked fine when GRUB was not part of the boot path, so I'm wondering whether GRUB is leaving the controllers in some different state. Have you heard reports of this issue? Any idea what's going on? Thanks, – Will [1] http://www.sevenforums.com/hardware-devices/192914-usb-keyboard-mouse-do-not-work-once-windows-starts.html#post3012750 [2] https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2206032 _______________________________________________ Help-grub mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-grub
