I have seen this problem when USB Mouse/KB were not enabled by the system BIOS. Linux can use the USB devices even if the BIOS has not enabled them, so when X starts up and tells the system use the USB keyboard the USB keyboard starts working. The USB keyboard does not work before X starts up because nothing has told Linux to use it.

Try browsing your BIOS settings to see if there is an option for enabling the USB mouse/KB, and turn it on.

ok thnaks
let me try , i will update u


thanks again

hello
idaho you are right, and i aggree wih u.
but i could not try it actualy i remove rehhat linux from my system becouse of none support of integrated Savagepro DDR AGP card under redhat 9.
so i install mandrake 9.1 .
i ammazed i never used this distro before but mandrake detect all hardware and take less time to configure my network and other things.

ok thnaks for repply
