--DbLPIOHPLkApkpGN Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable As I've migrated from one laptop to another (since around 2000), I don't recall encountering issues with the built-in mouse before, so this caught me a bit off guard. :-} My last several laptops have all been Dell machines; the one I've been using regularly for the last 3 years in a Precision M4800; information on it may be found at <https://wiki.freebsd.org/Laptops/Dell_Precision_M4800?highlight=3D(\bCateg= oryLaptop\b)>, and copies of full verbose dmesg.boot files (running stable/11 & head, built this morning) may be found via <http://www.catwhisker.org/~david/FreeBSD/history/>. Yesterday, I took delivery of a Dell Precision 7520, the superficial appearance of which is quite like that of the M4800: Each has both trackpoint ("eraser-head") pointer and a trackpad; for each machine, the trackpad has a set of 3 buttons across the top and a set of 3 across the bottom. (And in each, the set of "mouse components" is offset to the left by about half the width of the numeric keypad that I don't use and wish wasn't there. :-/ ) However, while the mouse "just works" on the M4800, it does absolutely nothing in FreeBSD (except create a stationary cursor). (It works fine going into the BIOS setup and making adjustments to various things, so this isn't a hardware issue, per se.) I built stable/11 @r331093 (amd64) on each of them and saved a verbose dmesg.boot on each; I have copied them to <http://www.catwhisker.org/~david/FreeBSD/laptops/>. I extracted the part (of the dmesgboot files) that involves the keyboard and mouse for comparison here: --- dmesg.boot.4800 2018-03-17 08:57:05.704318000 -0700 +++ dmesg.boot.7520 2018-03-17 08:57:49.776148000 -0700 @@ -7,7 +7,7 @@ kbdc: RESET_KBD status:00aa kbd0 at atkbd0 kbd0: atkbd0, AT 101/102 (2), config:0x0, flags:0x3d0000 -ioapic0: routing intpin 1 (ISA IRQ 1) to lapic 4 vector 53 +ioapic0: routing intpin 1 (ISA IRQ 1) to lapic 6 vector 51 atkbd0: [GIANT-LOCKED] random: harvesting attach, 8 bytes (4 bits) from atkbd0 psm0: unable to allocate IRQ @@ -21,19 +21,19 @@ kbdc: RESET_AUX return code:00fa kbdc: RESET_AUX status:00aa kbdc: RESET_AUX ID:0000 -psm: status 00 02 64 -psm: status 00 00 64 -psm: status 00 03 64 -psm: status 00 03 64 -psm: data 08 00 00 -psm: status 00 00 14 -psm: status 00 00 14 -psm: status 73 03 0a +psm: status 00 64 02 +psm: status 00 64 00 +psm: status 00 64 03 +psm: status 00 64 03 +psm: data 00 00 00 +psm: status 00 14 00 +psm: status 00 14 00 +psm: status 10 64 00 psm: status 00 02 64 psm0: <PS/2 Mouse> irq 12 on atkbdc0 -ioapic0: routing intpin 12 (ISA IRQ 12) to lapic 6 vector 53 +ioapic0: routing intpin 12 (ISA IRQ 12) to lapic 0 vector 53 psm0: [GIANT-LOCKED] -psm0: model GlidePoint, device ID 0-00, 2 buttons +psm0: model GlidePoint, device ID 0-00, 100 buttons psm0: config:00004000, flags:00000008, packet size:3 psm0: syncmask:c0, syncbits:00 random: harvesting attach, 8 bytes (4 bits) from psm0 Does anyone else think it a bit "ambitious" of the 7520's mouse to claim "100 buttons"? Is, perhaps, something getting reported... wrongly? (If so, may that be corrected somoehow?) I tried plugging in a USB mouse; it Just Worked. The BIOS on the 7520 is now at 10.10.2; on receipt, it had 1.7.1. The observed behavior was the same for each. Thanks for any hints! (As far as performance building FreeBSD -- and ports -- it seems to be a fine machine for my intended use... if I can fix this... and get the Atheros "QCA6174 802.11ac Wireless Network Adapter" to be recognized & used.)
