discipledoc 0 Posted March 20, 2003 Hi! I've finally got my A7N8X motherboard working under Mandrake 9.0. However, I'm still having issues with getting my usb mouse working in mandrake 9.0. I gotta tell ya, you guys hit the nail right on the head about the other stuff that I did get working...such as my onboard audio, and onboard NIC. I followed the instructions to the letter, and I am browsing the 'net and hearing good sounds from my board. I have an Intellimouse Explorer 3.0 (usb) and it is not recognized by any of the usb ports on the board. Here's my setup: A7N8X (non-deluxe) AthlonXP 2700+ 768mb DDR400 RAM 1x40GB & 1 120GB Maxtor ATA133 HD's Visiontek GeForce4 Ti4600 48x24x48x16x DVD/CD-RW 40x12x48x CD-RW Mandrake 9.0 (custom kernel 2.4.19.16mdk) Any help is greatly appreciated.

Squeak 0 Posted March 20, 2003 I have the same mouse, and have had lots of problems using the USB connector, but it works flawlessly when using the USB-to-PS2 adaptor which came with the mouse. Either use that or wait a few days for Mandrake 9.1. Share this post Link to post
blueworm 0 Posted March 20, 2003 Have managed to get any other usb devices to work? It had me crazy for about 36 hours, Murphy's law, I post an SOS in this forum, and fixed the problem myself 10 minutes later. This is how I did it. I was getting bored with the usb thing. Decided it would be more fun to overclock my 2400XP. Over did it and bios would'nt boot! Oh s***! Removed bios Battery, this resets bios to default settings. I adjusted bios as before, at least I think so. Anyhow usb related adjustments are exactly the same as before. Linux boots and usb flash card, and web cam are recognized !!!! I dont have a convinsing explanation for this, I suspect that I had something wrong in the bios setup. If you want to use usb2.0 you need to add this line in modules.conf # usb2.0 probeall usb-interface ehci-hcd you can see if its recognized in /proc/bus/usb/devices or using usbview nevertheless squeks advice regarding the mouse is the best. Have you tried overclocking your 2700XP? I managed 14 x 166 by raising the cpu voltage to 1.75 this = 2324Mhz Totally stable. cooling is provided by thermalright slk800 and a 60 x 12 mm delta fan. Bare in mind the the highest clocked thoroughbred is the 2800XP clocked at 13.5 x 166 2241 Mhz You should be able to clock yours very close to 2500 Mhz perhaps 12.5 x 200 good luck, please let me know the outcome of this.
