Hello all, I have Ubuntu 5.10 installed on my Toshiba
Satellite M45-S169. I am experiencing some oddities
with regards to the USB ports on this machine.
I have 3 USB 2.0 ports, but Ubuntu device manager sees
it as 1 USB 2.0 and 2 USB 1.1 ports. Any ideas as to
why this may be? I started noticing this when I tried
to work with a USB mouse, (which is apparently not
possible to reliably do), And I am not really sure
what to do about it.
I would still like to get the mouse working, but at
this point the usb mouse will randonly freeze, often
times when I log out, and often times completely
crippling the system. At this point I am content to
simply work with the touchpad, but I do still need to
figure out the USB thing as I also need to add an
external HD to this set up.
That brings me to the second USB related question: as
far as the external HD goes I also have firewire
available to me, but which is better? USB 2.0 or
Firewire?
Thanks to all in advance,
AA
