Logitech wireless MX Duo not recognised on first boot

[David Niemi]

I have a Logitech wireless MX Duo that worked fine with FC3. I purchased this after I had installed and setup FC 3 and after
playing around with the connects a few times it worked great.

Now I installed FC4 as a fresh install and everything worked during the Anaconda install, keyboard and mouse. When I reboot,
nothing is recognised and I need to shutdown the PC by single push of the power button so that FC3 shuts down normally.

I have gone through the connect procedure numerous times but the mouse never works. I have the mouse and keyboard connected
to the PS2 connectors directly (use a KVM also, but not at the moment). I do not want to use the USB connectors, even to get
it going as I don't want to possibly be stuck using that.

USing Rescue I checked the xorg.conf file and everything seems fine in there when I compare to a different machine (different
mouse & keboard through a KVM)

Any ideas on how to get things working?

I would use the USB connectors.

Can you use the keyboard to enter your computer's bios?

Any reason to think that this is not a hardware issue? I have Logitech 
Wireless Duo myself (at least i think that's the brand) and it doen't 
give me any issues. From FC3 to FC4.

The keyboard works during boot even through the KVM, but when I get into the first boot screen the mouse doesn't work and I 
can't tell if the keyboard is working either.

I am trying now a reinstall using a PS/2 keyboard and mouse as I had things during the first install in December.

Nope, it appears to be a smp kernel issue.
