Greetings,

For some time now, I have been unable to implement my X86 GUI
environment as a result of not being able to get my PS2 mouse to work.

It appears that while in the GUI setup screen you can choose this type
of mouse, it is disabled in the kernel config for the reason that it
claims to have a conflict with the "IO_KBD" interupt vector 12. Further
investigation shows that in fact it is not the IRQ that seems to be the
conflicting issue, but thr port address 0x60 that conflicts with the
Keyboard port address 0x60. While the config table indicates that this
conflict is "allowed" after adding the "psm0" driver to the "Active
Drivers" list,  when you enter the config screen in X86 GUI mode to
configure the mouse, the keyboard freezes.

Any ideas anyone?

Thank you!
