Hi,
Have any of you had trouble with the PS/2 mouse port on the Asus
P3B-F (1agp/6pci/1isa) mainboard? I have had 2 in a row whose
mouseports don't work (under Linux, FreeBSD & even MS-DOS).
Board rev is 1.04, bios is 1004. Asus tech-support is no help,
other than "send the board..." Linux malfunctions especially
badly - if mouse is connected, keyboard will not respond.
(Slackware 7.0, kernel 2.2.13 & subsequently 2.2.14)
The place I bought the board(s) says they checked the 1st one &
it worked for them... (Perhaps because of different (IDE)
peripherals?)
My config is as follows:
CPU - Celeron 433A, *no* overclocking
Memory - 128m ECC (Hitachi)
AGP - Matrox G400 (configs as irq 11)
PCI1 - Intel NIC (also configs as irq 11, but works fine)
PCI2 - DPT SCSI HBA (configs as irq 10)
Asus-tech suggested moving NIC to another pci slot, whereby it
went to a different irq, but that did not help.
Did I just hit an unlucky-streak & get a couple of bad ones or
should I switch brands? IOW, should I be patient &
understanding :) & swap again or should I get something else?
Many thanks,
-kc
