Zenbook Left USB 3 port read only

I have Asus Zenbook UX-31A Touchscreen. openSUSE 12.2 handles like a dream. One issue I am having though is the left USB 3 port only works in read-only. Anything I plug into that port I am unable to write to. The port on the right side of the computer works normally. Anyone having this issue? Anyone know how to fix it? Any further info you might need let me know. Thanks.

The right hand side one is usb 2?

They are both USB 3 which is why I find it odd. Also, both ports work under Ubuntu.
