buddy has a USB HP keyboard that sometimes works on his newly installed Mandrake 9.2 system. It worked fine when Windows XP was on it but now that Linux on there he's got no keyboard .... mouse is USB and works fine any help would be greatly apreciated!
I have a similar problem. I have a usb keyboard that worked fine under RH 7.1 but doesn't work under suse 9.1. Yast knows it's there and says it's tied to /dev/input/event3, but when I cat that file and press the keys nothing happens. The usb mouse works fine even if it's plugged into the hub in the keyboard.
