Abit IP35 Pro / USB Keyboard / CMOS

Jumpin Jack · Jan 22, 2008

I have an Abit IP35 Pro and the USB Keyboard will not work in CMOS. I'm pretty sure there is a setting I need to switch on but I wouldn't have a clue which one it is. Can someone help me out with the correct setting?

Thanks :beer:

It should work, you've tried clearing the CMOS with the back switch right?

Got any spare KB's lying around?

Works fine with an old PS2 keyboard, but not a USB keyboard.

JJ just use a usb to ps2 adaptor... in the bios there is a flag that tells the board to handle the USB via bios or os...thats why you need to look for and change, sorry not infront of my rig so i cant tell ya where its at.

Since I just moved to a USB keyboard a little while ago, this is an issue that is rather annoying and you'd have figured they'd have this solved by now. I can't remember the exact setting, but under the USB mouse and keyboard support settings, you need to set it from OS to BIOS, then it'll work. Of course you need a PS/2 style keyboard to set it. :bang head

Follow the tree: Integrated Peripherals \ OnChip PCI Device \ USB Device Setting \ USB Keyboard Support VIA \ (change that value to "BIOS")

Wow, thanks tusk and the op. This wasn't high on my priority list but I haven't figured this one out yet. Maybe I can get rid of my 3 ps2 now and get a nice keyboard
