I'm messing with 4.4-Release on an NEC Ready 120LT Subnotebook.

The "stick mouse" is enabled in the setup.

When I'm using the computer normally, it works fine, but when I attach
it's external CD-ROM drive, the mouse just doesn't show up and it's
really grating on me.

It doesn't seem to be an IRQ Conflict.

Wihtout CD-ROM Drive hooked up:

[root@chimaera]# moused -t auto -p /dev/psm0 
[root@chimaera]# dmesg | grep irq
pcic-pci0: <Ricoh RL5C475 PCI-CardBus Bridge> irq 11 at device 3.0 on pci0
pci0: <NeoMagic model 0083 VGA-compatible display device> at 4.0 irq 0

ppc0: <Parallel port> at port 0x378-0x37f irq 7 on isa0
sbc0: <SoundBlaster 16> at port 0x220-0x22f irq 5 drq 1 flags 0x15 on isa0
ep0: <3Com 3C574B, Megahertz 3CCFE574BT or Fast Etherlink 3C574-TX> at port
0x240-0x25f irq 3 slot 0 on pccard0

(Notice the psm0 on IRQ 12?)


Again... With the CD-ROM hooked up:

[root@chimaera]# moused -t auto -p /dev/psm0 
moused: unable to open /dev/psm0: Device not configured
[root@chimaera]# dmesg | grep irq
pcic-pci0: <Ricoh RL5C475 PCI-CardBus Bridge> irq 11 at device 3.0 on pci0
pci0: <NeoMagic model 0083 VGA-compatible display device> at 4.0 irq 0

ata0 at port 0x1f0-0x1f7,0x3f6 irq 14 on isa0
ata1 at port 0x170-0x177,0x376 irq 15 on isa0
atkbd0: <AT Keyboard> flags 0x1 irq 1 on atkbdc0
sio0 at port 0x3f8-0x3ff irq 4 flags 0x10 on isa0
sio1: configured irq 3 not in bitmap of probed irqs 0
ppc0: <Parallel port> at port 0x378-0x37f irq 7 on isa0
sbc0: <SoundBlaster 16> at port 0x220-0x22f irq 5 drq 1 flags 0x15 on isa0
ep0: <3Com 3C574B, Megahertz 3CCFE574BT or Fast Etherlink 3C574-TX> at port
0x240-0x25f irq 3 slot 0 on pccard0

(now there is an ata1 on IRQ 15... which should not conflict with the
mouse on IRQ 12.  But where did psm0 on IRQ 12 GO?!?!)

--Angry!
