Hi,
I'm trying out Porteus 3.2.2 on a USB stick.
Starting up works fine, entering the kde gui. But neither the keyboard nor the mousepad works
Hardware: Asus E200H Notebook PC.
Any suggestions?
Regards,
Axel

Welcome to Porteus. Someone with a notebook will surely come along to help you.

According to this thread that might relate to a kernel issue:
https://askubuntu.com/questions/753964/ ... sus-e200ha
You might try a more recent kernel, here's 4.10.8 (compiled by neko and provided by ncmprhnsbl)
000-kernel-4.10.8.xzm 45.8mb
vmlinuz 3.2mb

Have you by any chance tried to update the kernel but not updated 000-kernel.xzm module with it?

This also happens when trying new Xorg with old DE's, like it was described here:

Thanks for the suggestions. The newer kernel 4.10 had no effect though (the new xorg just didn't start). Will do some more searching...

alexoi, try this stable kernel with kernel-firmwares for x86_64 architecture by
brokenman
Code: Select all
Linux porteus 4.10.8-porteus #1 SMP PREEMPT Sat Apr 1 22:30:16 BRT 2017
http://dl.porteus.org/x86_64/kernel/porteus-4.10.8/
Download vmlinuz (from here) and copy to
/boot/syslinux
Download 000-kernel.xzm (from here) and copy to
/porteus/base

Hi all,
Just wanted to let you know my findings on this.
I found:

Unfortunately it seems the hardware in the Asus Vivobooks is not supported by Linux
