From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows 98; Q312461)

Description of problem:
I did a vanilla install of RH 7.2.93.  The keyboard and mouse were detected and 
worked fine.  When the computer was restarted the computer did not find the 
keyboard and when the boot up hardware checked for the mouse it de-configured 
it as not found.  Neither the mouse or the keyboard were then usable

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.I re-formatted the drive and reinstalled RH7.2.93 after downloading it from 
another site
2.Same results
3.
	

Actual Results:  Same results

Expected Results:  I was hoping the keyboard and mouse would work

Additional info:

Comment 1 Jeremy Katz 2002-04-29 20:00:30 UTC
What type of keyboard/mouse is this?  (USB or legacy)?

Comment 2 Need Real Name 2002-04-29 20:44:28 UTC
This is a standard PS/2 keyboard(gateway) and a Logitect wireless wheel mouse - 
the installer found it as a generic 3 key mouse.

Comment 3 Michael Fulbright 2002-04-30 19:14:32 UTC
Bill have you heard of this happening? I don't think its an anaconda issue at
the look of it.

Comment 4 Bill Nottingham 2002-04-30 20:44:31 UTC
No, I haven't heard of this happening before.

Comment 5 Michael Fulbright 2002-05-01 15:43:30 UTC
What type of system is this?

Comment 6 Need Real Name 2002-05-01 15:54:07 UTC
This is an older system a Pentium 3 MMX 450 / 128 MB RAM / 20 GB HD

Comment 7 Need Real Name 2002-05-01 19:58:21 UTC
It seems to be a X problem.  I started the system to the command line and the 
keyboard works.  As soon as I start X neither the keyboard or the mouse works.  
I don't seem to have any problems from the command line though.  As long as I 
stay out of the GUI it great.

Comment 8 Michael Fulbright 2002-05-09 19:04:38 UTC
Are you using an XFree86 3.x or 4.x driver?

If you are using 3.x please attach your /etc/X11/XF86Config file, otherwise
please attach your /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 file.
