I just woke my system and usb is working fine.
I had loads of issues installing before I did the following:
1. Remove all but 4GB of ram
2. remove all USB devices except unibeast, keyboard and mouse
3. Unplug all HDD/DVD except the one I was placing the OS on.
I guess this means I had Motherboard, CPU, memory, Unibeast USB stick, Keyboard and mouse. (Had to ditch my ps2 keyboard and use a usb one too)
After I got it all working I re-attached all the drives etc. and now working good.
using DVI though not vga, I think i saw a post from someone warning not to try vga.
it all gets fuzzy after a while.
