So I might have put it back in the wrong place, but everything used to just work correctly when it was plugged in the place that it "was before." > If possible, try plugging the cable into another connector as well. > With 12 USB ports, I am guessing you have more then one header. I will be very happy to try that later.

Thank you for your help so far, Steven P. Ulrick P.S.: Is the wrapping on the message I sent messed up? If it is I'd like to know so I can fix it somehow. I am using the KMail component inside of Kontact that is the current version in Fedora 11. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
