Hi there,
I was using a ps/2 mouse.
I had to connect a ps/2 keyboard. As I have only one ps/2 socket I connected an usb mouse.
I then removed the other keyboard and reconnected the ps/2 mouse and removed the usb mouse.
Now the ps/2 mouse does not work, even after reboot. What should I do?

If the computer was turned on when you did this swapping around, there is a slight chance that you shorted the connection and killed the socket.

I reconnected the other keyboard and I write this e-mail from it so this did not happen. Thanks for the advice though.

try another mouse. try mouse on diff box.
in both cases, _turn_off_power_ before connecting and disconnecting.

Shouldn't USB be 'hot swappable' with the current limited to about 0.5 amps ?
