Since it has a trackball that looks like a PS/2 mouse, I tried building a kernel with the psm device. The effect of this is to stop the keyboard from working - the system boots and gives a login prompt, but doesn't respond to keystrokes. Any suggestions? I enclose my config file below; commenting out the psm0 line fixes the problem. -- Richard machine "i386" cpu "I486_CPU" ident ROCK timezone 0 maxusers 10 maxfdescs 2048 #Max file descriptors per process options INET #InterNETworking options PCFS #MSDOS File System options "COMPAT_43" #Compatible with BSD 4.3 options "TCP_COMPAT_42" #TCP/IP compatible with 4.2 options XSERVER #Xserver options UCONSOLE #X Console support options "FAT_CURSOR" #block cursor in syscons or pccons options "NCONS=4" #4 virtual consoles # Most laptops have PS/2 style trackball mice. options ALLOW_CONFLICT_IOADDR #no IO addr conflict checks (PS/2 mice) config "386bsd" root on wd0 swap on wd0 and wd1 and sd0 and sd1 dumps on wd0 controller isa0 controller fdc0 at isa? port "IO_FD1" bio irq 6 drq 2 vector fdintr disk fd0 at fdc0 drive 0 controller wdc0 at isa? port "IO_WD1" bio irq 14 vector wdintr disk wd0 at wdc0 drive 0 device sc0 at isa? port "IO_KBD" tty irq 1 vector scintr device npx0 at isa? port "IO_NPX" irq 13 vector npxintr device sio0 at isa? port "IO_COM1" tty irq 4 vector siointr device sio1 at isa? port "IO_COM2" tty irq 3 vector siointr device lpt0 at isa? port? tty irq 7 vector lptintr device psm0 at isa? port "IO_KBD" tty irq 12 vector psmintr # IBM/National PCMCIA ethernet cards #device ze0 at isa? port 0x300 net irq 5 iomem 0xd8000 vector zeintr #pseudo-device ether pseudo-device loop pseudo-device log pseudo-device sl 2 pseudo-device pty 16 pseudo-device speaker pseudo-device swappager pseudo-device vnodepager pseudo-device devpager -- Richard Tobin, HCRC, Edinburgh University R.Tobin@ed.ac.uk Ooooh!
