That doesn't make it a BIOS problem. It means that you have found a workaround that works for you that involves turning off the BIOS support. > My configuration for the archive: > - Disable "USB BIOS Support" > - psmouse compiled in the kernel (2.6.4) > - uhci/ehci compiled as module > - no hotplug (as it is started after init it should not matter if it > runs - at that point psmouse knows about the touchpad) Compile uhci, hid, evdev & psmouse as modules, and load them in that order in /etc/modules, and you should be able to use either the USB or touchpad mice _and_ hotplug. A solution that involves "no hotplug" would be useless for me. I've got 6 hotpluggable devices that _must_ be hotplugged, because I don't have enough power to turn them on when I'm not using them. -- derek -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
