Title: Help me with AROS! :)
Post by: Mr_Capehill on August 21, 2003, 03:04:50 PM

I just tried to boot from AROS ISO 20030727 version on a HP Omnibook laptop. Workbench loads but I cannot do a thing. Pointer doesn't react USB mouse and I cannot find any working key combination. Disc drive clicks just like on the real thing.

Is there something I should know? :-o

Try using a ps2 mouse... I'm not sure if AROS supports a usb mouse yet.

Clear. Unfortunately I don't have other mice. Can I operate with keyboard, like on the real Amiga? I couldn't find any combination.

Well, you could always setup a USB bounty over at TeamAROS (http://www.thenostromo.com/teamaros/) to help spur on developement of USB for AROS. =)

Yes you can operate it with the keyboard :) the Windows keys on your key = the Amiga A buttons try again :).
