USB Mouse are almost always USB1. So they don't work as is. You need to plug it thru a USB2.0 Hub.


Also, once you plugged a USB1 in the Pandora, you crash the USB Stack and have to restart the Pandora.


I use a Mouse, and it perfectly works, with a USB HUB.


PS: Don't forget to active USB, it is deactivated by default to save power.

You need to use a USB 2 hub if you want to use a mouse.


The Pandora doesn't support USB1 devices like most mice and keyboards.


EDIT: h34r:


Edit edit: There is no need to restart the Pandora, just disable usb host then re-enable.

ah i see,luckily i had one collecting dust somewhere.it works ,but i have a question:before your reply i was looking at some older posts about the same issue,and some of you suggested to enable usb host -on at startup.well i clicked on startup in full desktop mode,asked from my password...and nothing happens...the mouse works fine but i still wanted the usb host command to be always on when i turn on the pandora.is there a command on the terminal to do so?


edit:nevermind it works only on minimenu for some reason...

You can also plug you mouse in the mini-usb port, using these:

In the Settings menu of XFCE there is start-up options that can allow you to turn on USB host and other things on startup.. I'm heading to work right now otherwise I'd give you exact instructions.
