Tim_Fosker_9351 : 17/05/08 07:49 PM : Incident created -   I'm new to linux and my USB logitech mouse does not work after booting mandriva. However, if I disconnect and reconnect the mouse after the system has booted it works fine. I have tried selecting different mouse set-ups in the mandriva Linux control center, but the system reverts to universal (any ps/2 and USB mice) on re-boot. Any suggestions for getting it to work without having to disconnect and reconnect the USB cable?
