Just tried installing 12.10 (using Wubi). The installation in Windows goes fine (aside from Wubi only putting the files GRUB needs on the Windows C: drive, which isn't my boot drive, so GRUB can't find them, but I just have to put them on the right drive, so that's not the problem).
The actual problem is that my mouse and keyboard don't work once I get to the login screen. Not at all (can't even toggle num lock or anything on the keyboard). A tiny wireless (has its own USB dongle) mouse/keyboard combo does work, but it's FAR too uncomfortable (and slow) for prolonged use - it's designed mostly for presentations (but it is good enough to use it to try to fix my proper mouse and keyboard). I seem to recall having the same problem in 12.04 (didn't play around with that version much) but not before. It also doesn't work running 12.10 from a USB drive. I've already tried using various solutions dredged up by Google and none I've managed to find work. I'd be grateful for any advice.
Hardware:
Intel Core i7 2600K
Gigabyte GA-P67A-UD4-B3
8GB RAM (Corsair... although that probably doesn't matter)
Dual EVGA GeForce GTX 570
Various HDDs and an SSD (I'm trying to run Ubuntu from a Wubi virtual partiton on a WD HDD... again, probably not important).
Triple boot between Windows XP/Windows 7x64/Ubuntu 12.10 amd64 (using Wubi)
The keyboard and mouse that don't work are a Razer BlackWidow Ultimate and a Razer Naga Epic (I've tried both wired and wireless for the mouse, it doesn't seem to make a difference).
