i make a few of assumptions, since your mail isn't really clear.
1. wireless usb keyboard works in linux, but not before linux boots up.
there's a setting in BIOs that is pertinent to this.
it's usually called USB Legacy Keyboard or something like that.
turn it on, and see if you can then use it before linux boots up.
2. wireless usb mouse doesn't function in Xwindows
you need relevant settings in XF86Config or XF86Config-4 file, most probably
the 2nd one, usually in your user directory.
i assume your previous mouse is a ps2 mouse, which means there is a section
in XF86Config that looks like this
Section InputDevice
Identifier Mouse0
Driver mouse
Option Device /dev/mouse
Option Protocol PS/2
EndSection
change it to
Section InputDevice
Identifier Mouse1
Driver mouse
Option Device /dev/usbmouse
Option Protocol PS/2
EndSection
and hopefully all is well.
if it doesn't work, post back here with more info, or if it works, drop a
note so that others searching the archives can find it.
