Laptops :: toshiba satellite pro 430 cds probs

Hi all,

I've just downloaded DSL 3.0.1 and it works great on my old laptop (266MHZ, 64MB, 2GB). but only the onboard usb works. If i put in my cardbus usb2.0 adapter (SKD usb2.0 cardbus, model ma-103), it still works but if i have anything in any of the usb ports attached (i have tried a mouse, usb pendrive, and a sis163u wifi stick) it will crash shortly after. If i put any of these in the onboard usb socket they work fine.

I have also tried DSL-N 0.1 RC1 and no success. in other topics it mentions that DSL 2.1b is better for old laptops, is this true, or is there another way to fix it?

and on a side note, would anyone know why teh onboard mouse doesn't work anymore, it used to in windows and knoppix but then it stopped. and i thought that seeming dsl had support for old hardware that it might make it work but no, unless i have to do something special, if so what as it would mean i dont have to have the crappy usb mouse that jitters all the time

just a note, i did lsusb with the usb cardbus in and it showed up with 2 extra hubs
