It took me 3 days trying dozens of configurations before I get them working. First, check 'dmesg' to see which USB controllers are correctly configured. In my system, two of the four USB controllers are disabled (not able to allocate ports) while the other two are properly configured. Connect your keyboard & mouse to the working controllers. Second, this is tricky and I have no explanation: enable ACPI and they work! I'm using 5.2-current. Give it a try and see what happens. -- BIn
