USB detection
Mandriva seems to have a problem dectecting any usb device. Mouse, printer, external sound card. Is this something I can fix? Thanks.

Check the Man pages for "hotplug" located in /etc/init.d/hotplug
$ man hotplug There you can get status, start and stop services such as USB autodetect... KC |
Login as root before typing the command.
Type kudzu, its a hardware detection/config tool that comes with almost every linux distro(but its given by redhat) Code:
root@localhost root $ kudzu Code:
root@localhost root $ man kudzu You would also want to , have a look at this thread : Regards |
kudzu- command not found
|
kudzu, not found .... You can try hotplug as suggested by kencaz
|
I went into MCC and turned on hotplug but it still won't detect a usb mouse. Somehow I got the mouse messed up, what a deal that was to fix.
|
There is a converter for ps/2 to usb. Why dont u buy it.... this way u wont have to go the hard way ... sorry if this suggestion is stupid.
|
Thanks for the reply. Yep, I have the adapter, just wanted to see if usb mouse would work the way it should work.
