Hello everyone, I'm a new Debian user. I recently installed Debian on my laptop computer, and almost everything worked out of the box. However, there are a few things that don't work now, but did in my old system. So I would like to ask for your advice.
I use a PS/2 keyboard and a USB mouse that I connect to the laptop thru a (generic) USB to PS/2 adaptor. The mouse works, but the keyboard doesn't. I have no idea where I can start looking. My guess is that the installation didn't install PS/2 support, but I've been searching the net and reading the documentation, but can't figure how to deal with that. I will appreciate help from more advanced users. If it's of any help, this is the output of dmesg when I plug the USB-to-PS/2 adaptor: [ 3202.944038] usb 1-1: new low speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 2 [ 3203.115156] usb 1-1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice [ 3203.119328] usb 1-1: New USB device found, idVendor=13ba, idProduct=0017 [ 3203.119336] usb 1-1: New USB device strings: Mfr=0, Product=1, SerialNumber=0 [ 3203.119340] usb 1-1: Product: Generic USB K/B [ 3203.602247] usbcore: registered new interface driver hiddev [ 3203.617535] input: Generic USB K/B as /class/input/input7 [ 3203.617904] input,hidraw0: USB HID v1.10 Keyboard [Generic USB K/B] on usb-0000:00:1d.0-1 [ 3203.633615] input: Generic USB K/B as /class/input/input8 [ 3203.634088] input,hidraw1: USB HID v1.10 Mouse [Generic USB K/B] on usb-0000:00:1d.0-1 [ 3203.634112] usbcore: registered new interface driver usbhid [ 3203.634116] usbhid: v2.6:USB HID core driver And this is the output of lsusb: Bus 004 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub Bus 001 Device 002: ID 13ba:0017 Unknown PS/2 Keyboard+Mouse Adapter Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub Thanks in advance for any piece of advice you can provide.
