Daniel, you're right i didn't look hard enough. i did look some more, searching "psmintr: out of sync" doesn't yield results, but "psmintr" does. and i tried changing the line in my kernel to read: device psm0 at atkbdc? irq 12 flags 0x100 with a recompile of the kernel and a restart, but no success. oh and one more thing: i usually do send plain-text email. i had forgotten to switch back after needing to send an HTML mail to a friend, but i appreciate the reminder. -clay ----- Original Message ----- From: "Daniel Frazier" <dfrazier@magpage.com> To: "Clayton Tycksen" <clay@tycksen.com> Cc: <questions@FreeBSD.ORG> Sent: Wednesday, November 21, 2001 11:46 AM Subject: Re: psmintr out of sync > Clayton Tycksen wrote: > > > hey all, > > > > > > > > yes, i'm getting the "psmintr out of sync" error when i try to use my > > mouse. stopping/starting/adjusting the mouse daemon doesn't help. > > > > > > > > i'm running FreeBSD 4.2. > > > > > > > > the mouse is a Microsoft USB Intellimouse Explorer (5 button) with a > > USB->PS/2 adapter. i'm using the mouse through a switch (Belkin > > OmniView Pro), so i'm using the PS/2 adapter. i've got a similar setup > > at home, similar mouse/switch/cables, etc... with no problems. but my > > machine at home is running FreeBSD 4.4. i'm guessing that the problem > > was fixed in/before 4.4. > > > > > > > > from searching archives, i have seen that a possible fix for this is to > > use a serial adapter on the mouse and connect it to a serial port. > > since i need to use my switch, that really isn't an option. > > > > > > > > does anyone have any other solutions/suggestions as to a workaround for > > this problem? i'm a newbie, so you may have to be somewhat detailed in > > your response. > > > > > > > > thanks, > > > > > > > > clay > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > you didn't search hard enough.
