Any volunteers? :) > > Doug White | University of OregonWell, I have did that all at my Triton motherboard (the kernel reconfigure and compile) but the kernel didn't detect psm0 at boot time, it said: psm0: not found at 0x60 At the other computer I have (HP Vectra) it said: psm0: at 0x60-0x63 irq 12 on motherboard The Window 95 detect my PS/2 mouse port correctly at Triton I don't know how the PS/2 mouse port is working, maybe I need to read books about that to figure out what is the problem :( I hope somebody can help:) Iwan L
