PS/2 mouse support is iffy in 2.0-R; with my ps/2 mouse kernel I've got a 50/50 chance of being able to type after the autoconf stage. Sometimes things work fine, othertimes the keyboard just dies. Presumably this is because some part of the kernel is getting confused by the sharing of IO addresses; it seems totally nondeterministic. I've just upgraded to the 021095 SNAP and haven't seen this problem yet, but I've only been running for a day or so (have seen other problems though, like corrupted filesystems -- hopefully that's just cruft happening from the library/binary switch...) For what its worth, NetBSD 1.0 exhibited difficulty dealing with PS/2 mice in X-Windows, in a different way; keyboard response became sluggish when using a PS/2 mouse kernel. Go figure. Good luck. -- ...................................................................... Peter G. Berger, Esq.
