I just did an install of Knoppmyth on a brand new system, and ran into some issues with my keyboard install. It is a Versapoint RF Keyboard with an integral mouse. The receiver for it plugs into a USB port. If I plug it in, and remove the standard keyboard, lilo seems to hang right after



Leaving both keyboards plugged in, the boot process will complete, and I can use the Versapoint. But it doesn't seem to recognize the Versapoint mouse commands, just the keyboard. I can leave my PS/2 mouse plugged in, and it works, but I can't seem to get the Versapoint mouse to work whether or not the PS/2 mouse is plugged in at boot time. I looked on a few other Myth related boards, and saw a little talk about the Versapoint, but none where someone was having it recognize the keyboard, but not the mouse. Any suggestions on what I should be looking at to fix either of these problems?

Also, since this is my first post, I just wanted to thank the developers of Knoppmyth. Once I figured out my SATA problems, and put a parallel ATA drive in, the install went very smoothly.

edit: I did check out this post which mentions a similar problem with the booting:
http://mysettopbox.tv/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=1403, and will double check the BIOS settings later to see if that makes a difference.

Since it is a USB mouse, check XF86Config-4 and ensure it is set to use a USB mouse.

That was part of my problem, thanks for pointing me in the right direction. But after doing that, the motion on the mouse was acting very weird. Left/right moved the cursor up/down. Up/down moved the cursor up/down but very slowly. And the buttons moved the cursor to the right. The fix for this was to change the line

to


Simply commenting the Emulate3Buttons option out didn't work for me, I had to explicitly state not to use it.

Now the mouse behaves normally.

Thanks,
