Good thing someone has :D

lsusb shows 8 usb ports, 6 1.1 and 2 2.0 ports.
I have six physical ports.
Plugging into them all and running lsusb - none of them are 2.0 ports.
When I plugged my keyboard and mouse back into the main rear ports to
run lsusb,
when I clicked on the screen with my mouse to see if they were woring
- the screen did this
flickering and then lsusb posted to the terminal screen. When I say
the screen, not the
monitor itself but what is shown on the screen.
My computer spec's show that the front panel and rear right ports are
usb 2.0 ports, though
lsusb isnt confirming this.
