USB problems in GUI
Does anyone know what configuration file controls how ACPI allocates computer resources?
I have a Toshiba a65-s1762 laptop (3.2ghz P4-M), When I install either FC5 or SUSE 10.0, the install wont complete unless I include ACPI=OFF in the command line on boot up. The problem is that when I use the ACPI=OFF, the USB ports do not work. Since my laptop does not have a PS-2 or Serial port I have no place to plug in a mouse, and I am forced to use the touchpad.
Please note: the SUSE Live-DVD does work with the USB mouse while in the GUI.

It seems to me that the problem that I have is how the OS' ACPI application handles conflicts with what it thinks the values should be with what the actual values are. Thus Causing the GUI (Gnome-Nautilus or KDE) to lock up.
The Following info was obtained from the Same Laptop Running WinXP Pro Sp2 Nec PCI to USB Enhanced Host Controller: IRQ19 Mem FABFD000-FABFDFFF Nec PCI to USB Open Host Controller: IRQ19 Mem F00010000-F0001FFF Nec PCI to USB Open Host Controller: IRQ19 Mem F00020000-F0002FFF
Does anyone know what configuration file(s) control how ACPI allocates computer resources? Ideally I would like a applet that gathers the information from the control file(s) showing me the values that the OS uses as default and Allows me to modify the values and write them back to the file(s) from which they came.
I am not sure if the problem is in the related to the kernel or the gui, it doesn't really make a difference I just want to get USB and my mouse to function. Does anyone know if such a utility exists or if any other fixes are available? Thanks
