Although this method should work with most PS/2 pointing devices, it may interfere with some devices which are not so compatible with known devices. If you think your pointing device is not functioning as expected, and the kernel frequently prints the following message to the console, psmintr: out of sync (xxxx != yyyy). set this flag to disable synchronization check and see if it helps. I don't know what you're trying to do with those other psm options, but to fix the problem make your psm line look like this... device psm0 at atkbdc? irq 12 flags 0x100 ...then compile/install a new kernel and all should be well. -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Daniel Frazier Tel: 302-239-5900 Ext. 231 Systems Administrator Fax: 302-239-3909 MAGPAGE, We Power the Internet WWW: http://www.magpage.com/ "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." - Benjamin Franklin, Historical Review of Pennsylvania, 1759.
