Hello, I'm having a devil of a time trying to figure out how to reconfigure a kernal. The scenario is I'm trying to set up Xfree86 to run with a PS/2 mouse. The installation instructions say to lookup reconfiguring a kernal in the handbook. Well after reading all 400 title pages in the handbook I am unable to locate the page describing how to reconfigure the kernal. I did find handbook page 32 describing the dev abbreviation psm0. The input "dev/pms0" was in the XF86Config file and the handbook said to input "psm0 at isa? port "IO_KBD" conflicts tty irq 12 vector psmintr" under the pointer section of the config file. After typing the vi command ":wq" and starting xfree86 (xinit) the system dumps a ton of information then stops stating the mouse device is not enabled, underlining the psm0 command line previously described. Am I reconfiguring the kernal correctly or are steps following the changing of the config file that I am missing? Thanks in advance, Jeff
