My keyboard and mouse are PS/2 connected. Thank goodness for that. I have been using lsusb and udev monitor to check for what the kernel sees. So far, it has seen nothing at all. I may not completely understand the output but having no output says a lot too. I'm part way through the emerge -e @system and I hope that will help. Thanks. Dale :-) :-)
