Ok so here's the problem, Well actually I had no problem until my brother un-plugged the USB receiver from my computer during an active session. I am currently running SuSE Linux with the KDE 3.5.1 desktop environment. The keyboard I am having a problem with is the Logitech Cordless Internet Pro, (Model Name: Y-RAJ56A), which also comes with a wireless mouse and speakers, however I do not use the mouse so that will be out of the question. As I said in the beginning I had no problem with the keyboard until the receiver was un-plugged. I have tried doing a cold boot with the receiver plugged in but when my BIOS tells me to hit F12 to continue I can't. I have also checked my devices listed under my USB ports and it does show the receiver is plugged in so why wont my keyboard work???

Welcome to LQ!

My (wild) guess is the keyboard and receiver were "paired" and you need to introduce them to each other again. Reading the documentation may help. Otherwise contact the manufacturers tech support. The problem your having has nothing to do with operating system.

Well the receiver has a "connect" button on the top which I have to push then after I push that button I have to push a connect button on the bottom of the keyboard to get it recognized. Atleast that's what I had to do in Windows. But I have no way of knowing that the keyboard is connected because whenever I push the connect button on the receiver nothing comes up on Linux.....Any suggestions on how I can get them paired again?

I have at least 1 box that spontaneously loses its BIOS USB settings, I wonder if that has happened to you. My fix is to power down, attach an old PS/2 KB, & fix the problem in the BIOS. Then I save the settings, power down (again), disconnect the PS/2 KB, & power back up .

If you're wondering why I only mess w/ the PS/2 connection w/ the pwr. off, it's because I read (a long time ago) that to do otherwise can damage your mobo. I'm not fully convinced it's true, but why take chances?

Yep, I remember reading it, too. Might be true.

Well I did check the BIOS and everything is enabled like it is supposed to be. Even the one that is supposed to auto detect any USB peripherals such as USB keyboards and what not. I am so stumped and tired of using my old Compaq keyboard...
