new install, no mouse

just installed the newest Manjaro. Never used it before. my problem is that it does not recognize my USB mouse, either the radio one or the wired one. I am dual booting this hardware with Win10, and I have no problems there.
if this helps, I also tried installing the latest FerenOS, with the same problem as Manjaro.

I KNOW this is related to my system board, but what could it be? I have set all config options to factory on the system board.
the system BD is a Gigabyte 970a-D3P AMD based.

Have you checked if the kernel sees the mouse? If not, it's definitely a hardware problem. But if the mouse is just inactive in X, that could be an issue with the evdev driver. Open a terminal and type

Code:

sudo dmesg|more

then scroll down to find the mouse code (if present). For example, mine reads:

Code:
