Using Bookworm Pup64 and at start up everything works. Then all of a sudden the plugged in usb keyboard and mouse do not work. Lights are still on the devices.
Anything you did just before this happened?
How are they plugged into the computer?
USB ports on the computer or by a USB external additional ports device?
Do you get them back after doing a reboot or full power off/on boot up?
Are you using the latest version of BookwormPup64 10.0.7?
If no.
You need to use this version.
How is BookwormPup64 installed and on what type drive?
From your post in BookwormPup64 topic.
I can see them in hardware info and the lights are still on. The built in trackpad and keyboard work.
So this is a laptop computer?
For the mouse.
In menu ->Setup ->PupControl ->Hardware ->Input Devices ->touchpad
Have it turned off.
This keeps them both from trying to control.
You want to have only one working.
Probably also need to shutoff the laptop keyboard, but not sure how you would do that.
Maybe something in the computers bios setup has this as a optional setting.
Keyboard enable/disable.
