I tried that, and the keyboard does not work either. I suspect the problem is with the USB power. The adaptor is USB bus powered. Evidently, WinXP provides the power for the keyboard thru the adaptor, and once it's powered up, it remains so when I restart in Debian. For some reason, Debian is unable to provide that power. The CD that came with the keyboard has only an .exe file. The adaptor didn't ship any CD, but the packaging says "Supports Linux". I'll try contacting the manufacturer. Further ideas welcome! Thank you. D. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org
