Subject: PS2 mouse does not work
Sender: hackers-owner@freebsd.org
Precedence: bulk

I have plugged a PS2 mouse into the PS2 port of my Gateway 2000
DX4/100 (called Liberty) laptop.  Running FreeBSD 2.0.5, I added

device psm0 at isa? port "IO_KBD" conflicts tty irq 12 vector psmintr

to my kernel configuration, rebuilt my kernel, and on booting, both
the keyboard and the mouse probe successfully.  But after booting,
the keyboard is unusable.  I noticed that the question pertaining
to the psm driver is still in the FreeBSD FAQ but the answer is now
gone.  Does this mean that (temporarily?) psm support has been 
eliminated from FreeBSD 2.0.5?  Is there something we PS2 mouse users
should know?

Or, is the problem some conflict between the PS2 mouse plugged into
the PS2 port and the "builtin" (read, totally unusable) pointing
device located on the keyboard?

When the Liberty is running DOS and windows, both the mouse and the
infernal builtin thing work together....
