I've got FreeBSD 2.2-960801-SNAP installed, and I've tried -current and -stable's psm.c drivers as well. What I get is: spiffy> cat /dev/psm0 cat: /dev/psm0: Resource temporarily unavailable spiffy> ls -l /dev/*psm0 crw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel 21, 1 Sep 23 00:08 /dev/psm0 crw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel 21, 0 Sep 23 00:18 /dev/rpsm0 <--- this one I created spiffy> cat /dev/rpsm0 [data generated when mouse moved] spiffy> moused -f -d -p /dev/psm0 -t ps/2 moused: rodent is ps/2 moused: read retuned -1 : Resource temporarily unavailable exiting spiffy> moused -f -d -p /dev/rpsm0 -t ps/2 moused: rodent is ps/2 moused: received char 0xfa [move mouse generates data] I was wondering if there is some problem with my mouse (actually, it is the internal trackball)? I've tried kernels with and without PSM_NO_RESET, and it does not change a thing. Are there any patches that I could try, so I could get the default mouse to work (so I can get some warm fuzzies)? Reading the device in non-blocking mode kinda sucks up some time, esp. on this slower processor. Thanks. -Mark Taylor Network Administrator Cybernet Systems Corp. mtaylor@cybernet.com
