Hi!
 
I've finally got my A7N8X motherboard working under Mandrake 9.0. However, I'm still having issues with getting my usb mouse working in mandrake 9.0. I gotta tell ya, you guys hit the nail right on the head about the other stuff that I did get working...such as my onboard audio, and onboard NIC. I followed the instructions to the letter, and I am browsing the 'net and hearing good sounds from my board.
 
I have an Intellimouse Explorer 3.0 (usb) and it is not recognized by any of the usb ports on the board.
 
Here's my setup:
A7N8X (non-deluxe)
AthlonXP 2700+
768mb DDR400 RAM
1x40GB & 1 120GB Maxtor ATA133 HD's
Visiontek GeForce4 Ti4600
48x24x48x16x DVD/CD-RW
40x12x48x CD-RW
Mandrake 9.0 (custom kernel 2.4.19.16mdk)
 
Any help is greatly appreciated.

I have the same mouse, and have had lots of problems using the USB connector, but it works flawlessly when using the USB-to-PS2 adaptor which came with the mouse. Either use that or wait a few days for Mandrake 9.1.

Have managed to get any other usb devices to work?
It had me crazy for about 36 hours,
Murphy's law, I post an SOS in this forum, and fixed the problem myself 10 minutes later.
This is how I did it.
I was getting bored with the usb thing. Decided it would be more fun to overclock my 2400XP.
Over did it and bios would'nt boot! Oh s***!
Removed bios Battery, this resets bios to default settings. I adjusted bios as before, at least I think so. Anyhow usb related adjustments are exactly the same as before.
Linux boots and usb flash card, and web cam are recognized !!!!
I dont have a convinsing explanation for this, I suspect that I had something wrong in the bios setup.
 
If you want to use usb2.0
you need to add this line in modules.conf
# usb2.0
probeall usb-interface ehci-hcd
 
you can see if its recognized in
/proc/bus/usb/devices or using usbview
 
nevertheless squeks advice regarding the mouse is the best.
 
Have you tried overclocking your 2700XP?
I managed 14 x 166 by raising the cpu voltage to 1.75 this = 2324Mhz
Totally stable. cooling is provided by thermalright slk800 and a 60 x 12 mm delta fan.
 
Bare in mind the the highest clocked thoroughbred is the 2800XP clocked at 13.5 x 166
2241 Mhz
 
You should be able to clock yours very close to 2500 Mhz perhaps 12.5 x 200
 
good luck, please let me know the outcome of this.
