SUSE 10.1 Installation issues

pmasterp · 10-07-2006, 01:10 AM

I don't know what I'm doing incorrect I just try to Install Linux as a dual booting PC but whitout any sucess.

This is my PC hardware:

- Motherboard evga nvidia
- 250 GB HD SATA
- USB Mouse
- USB Wireless Microsoft Keyboard
- AMD 64 X2 4400+

And the only distro I could sucessfully install is SUSE 10.1 but after first booting and selecting suse then the system wont detect my keyboard and sometimes usb mouse either. And system doesn't response.

What should I'm doing wrong? It's the hardware my issue? I see at BIOS and it setup to detect USB mouse and keyboard so don't know what to do.

Thanks for your help

You will need to configure X to recognize your USB mouse and keyboard. Just edit your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file (there are plenty of tutorials online regarding this issue).

Oops, double post. See below

Hmmm...

Try using "usb" or "IMPS/2" as the mouse protocol.
Also, try using "/dev/psaux" or "/dev/input/mice" as the mouse device.
Make sure to disable legacy usb support in your bios if you can.

You will have to experiment--there are multiple ways to get this working.

How to do it if system wont boot and I know the problem is not the mouse or keyboard it's the graphics cards. I have one evga e-geforce 7900 gt ko 256 mb 256 bits.

Windows booting ok but no the same on Linux

Use the "nv" driver for X to get your NVIDIA graphics card working (hardware acceleration is a different story, however).

If the system doesn't boot (i.e. you get a kernel panic, you can't get to a login prompt, etc), then this is something else entirely.

Please provide us with as much information as possible with this problem--we aren't sitting in front of your computer, ya know

thanks for be so patience with me, finally I know what was the issue, and was that I have a DVB-S Card, and Linux is not recognize that, just remove it and voila system works pretty well.

I really enjoy graphics and I will start posting as thing I need. Just know learn how to install my card.
