First of all, my computer recognizes the DFP. That's the good news.

The bad news is that it recently started recognizing it only after opening up BIOS on startup illepallIf I don't, it starts to calibrate, but then stops after a quarter turn and the PC completely ignores it.

Does anybody have an explanation or a solution to this issue? I don't want to have to run BIOS every time I need my PC to see my DFP.

Thanks.

Does any other USB equipment work without entering BIOS ?

Yes, everything else works.

Well, the problem seems to be related to the mouse that was plugged into the USB port(I had it plugged into a PS2 before via USB->PS2). No worries now.
