Nobody gives me any help and I do not know what to try any further. I reduced the problem to the following behaviour: # dd if=/dev/bpsm0 bs=3 | xxd -c 3 # dd if=/dev/bpsm0 bs=3 | od -x # alternative This prints out 30 to 100 lines while I move my finger around the touchpad. Then the output stops. When I press Ctrl-C and restart the command, I get about 30 to 100 lines again. Moused and any other program that reads /dev/psm0 yield the same behaviour. I tried FreeBSD 6.4, 7.0 and 7.2. It is the same with all three of them. They were all virgin; I just unpacked the base distribution and the generic kernel. As there is nobody out there who likes to help me could at least anyone point me to a documentation how to debug the kernel driver? Or could at least anyone point me to a list where I can get help with severe kernel problems? I have to solve it with 7.2 as the previous versions don't recognize the network card. kernel list -- Bertram Scharpf Stuttgart, Deutschland/Germany http://www.bertram-scharpf.de
