sLaiD Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 1st: Where talking about Zephy which means the following: You own an AMD system? 2nd: It will only work, if you use either an USB keyboard and an USB mouse or a PS2 keyboard and a PS2 mouse. Do not try to mix it, the keyboard will not work. 3rd: Try a new install. But without Vanilla Kernel. That could be the problem. 4th: What do you use: SSE2, SSE3?
