[GLLUG] Keyboard & mouse problems

[Caleb Cushing]

Nevermind on the Controller. I looked it up on wikipedia. Which seems to be
a much better resource than google. I changed a few things in the bios,
including turning off devices I'm not using (serial port onboard modem) and
I found a usb keyboard support that I enabled. I'm running a clamscan -r /
right now and so far no lag. Maybe I'm good now. Time will tell, I'd rather
wait and see what happen's when compiling a big package.
