This seems to be broke:

In Preview 5 & 6 of UL my Intel 4 CPU 900mhz SDV detects the keyboar and mouse fine. SLES 8 beta 1 will not find the USB mouse and therefore cause instal pains (read it is a pain to TAB key through Yast to complete install). Once completed install in curses Yast pops up failing to detect mouse. lsmod shows usb drivers loaded......

Yast2 is a real PAIN to use in this mode. Even with a mouse it is a real PAIN vs Yast1 for server configs!!!!

What kind of mouse do you have? Please provide the output of "hwinfo --usb".

Why don't you use the keyboard shortcuts? Just press Alt + underlined character.

I will look at that, better would be "why not have Yast1 like interface for SLES, since it is a server OS. Clearly Yast2 is designed for the desktop users, where you will use KDE.

Seems like your mouse is broken somehow, as nothing of this kind is conntected to USB. What does lsusb give you?

If you want the textmode interface, you can call it as yast.
