Date: 21 Jun 1995 04:14:24 UTC Lines: 20 I decided to try and narrow down the reason psmprobe() locked up the keyboard on my Zenith laptop... Look in psmprobe() and you'll find these lines: psm_write_dev(ioport,0xff); /* Reset aux device */ psm_poll_status(); I surrounded these with an "#if 0/#endif" pair and everything works correctly, with the rest of the probe routine being the original 2.0.5-RELEASE code. Perhaps a PSM_NO_RESET option would be in order? I determined this with blind trial and error. I don't know anything at all about PS/2 mice. -- Nick Sayer <nsayer@quack.kfu.com> | N6QQQ @ N0ARY.#NORCAL.CA.USA.NOAM | "You sick little monkey!" +1 408 249 9630, log in as 'guest' | URL: http://www.kfu.com/~nsayer/ | -- Ren
