PS2 Mouse not found

I have just built myself a new Shuttle PC based on the SS40G barebones kit.

It uses the Shuttle FS40 mobo.

My mice (I have tried two) are not found when installing Windows 98SE or
SuSE Linux 8.2. I have tested the mice on another dual boot system and
they are working fine.

Am I correct in assuming this is a likely mobo fault, or have I missed
something somewhere in the BIOS settings or general configuration?

It sounds as if it is a mobo fault. I don't know of any where you can
disable the PS2 port.

Have you tried bringing up the BIOS screen? Most BIOSs support mice. So, if
it does not work there then it is probably a problem with the mobo. To Check
whether it is the installation (something shorting), take the mobo out of
the case, reconnect as few components as possible and try again.

I've solved the problem. As is ever the case it was my mistake. I had
plugged the CD-ROM audio connector to the wireless mouse connector on the
mobo in error. Connection corrected and everything works fine.
