Ready to trash this mobo.....
fine, but at one point the PS2 mouse stopped working. I've tried different mice that I know are working in other systems. The pointer sits in the middle of the screen, and the buttons do not work. I've tried the following without any success.... 1. PS2 mouse plugged into either mouse PS2 ports (my system has two mouse PS2 ports) 2. USB mouse 3. serial mouse Also, I've tried all of the above in both WindowsXP and Linux. Still no mouse. Any ideas of where to go next? Is there any hardware diagnostics floppy that I could boot to and test the PS2 port? Any help would be appreciated. -Joe On Sat, 12 Mar 2005 02:35:06 GMT, Joe

If you're a windows-only kinda joe, maybe one of the HDD manufacturer's utilities will make a boot floopy that loads a mouse driver so you could use a more fixed environment. You could also check a few things on the otherboard, like the 5V/5VSB jumper ( in case your PSU has insufficient 5VSB current ) and the continuity of the fuse (assuming there is one, though some of the junkier boards don't have one). > Hmmm.

It's most curious that other, and USB, serial, mice don't work either. Maybe you should disable one of the mouse ports? Since windows is more common, let's address the USB mouse on it... what happens when you plug in the USB mouse, does windows detect it? > Any chance you might have the wrong bios installed for the>Any ideas of where to go next?

Although, I suppose it's possible if a common super I/O chip went out. The machine is designed to be a media PC. Its a smaller mobo (miniATX,
I think). Is there any setting in the BIOS that would only affect the mouse? I also have a strange problem with the Linux 2.6 kernel. If I run that kernel I get no keyboard control. But, I assumed this was just a 2.6 problem since I have no problems with the keyboard in XP or the 2.4 kernel.

for the VIA chipset. Once I installed the driver my USB mouse does work, but my PS2 mouse does not. I guess this will have to do. thanks for you help.

Not to question all of your input
but are you sure it has two PS2 mouse ports ???? or just two PS2 ports one for possibly keyboard, and one for the mouse. Had a client once who hooked them up wrong and fried out that part of the board.
