I have these particular Items in question and they don't work very well on my Redhat system. I am still currently on 7.2
I keep an extra ps2 kyb and mouse around for the occasions that the other ones get screwy. it seems to be random as to when they work or don't work, but when they decide to stop working then they ususually won't work for about a week then if I plug them up they will work fine for a couple of weeks then die. Don't know what causes it or why it does this. Have bothered to really investigate the issue. I have really been using the ps2 kyb and mouse because I hate having to switch. they work fine and do what I need anyway. I put the others back on the Windoz box and let the wife and kids use them. don't let my bad experience keep you from getting them if you want them. Also I am using RH 7.2 still. -----Original Message----- From: Statux [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, May 22, 2002 12:59 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: USB keyboard and mouse USB keyboards and mice work fine, but you have to make sure you have support for HID, USB keyboards, and USB mice loaded. If you still use kudzu, it should load the needed modules by itself. If you want my honest opinion.. buy Logitech and not Microsoft.. that is if it's available where you live :) It'll save you lots of money.
