The kernel boots and reports that mse0 was not found at address 0x23c (the recommended address in the FAQ). Help! We would like to know how to disable the busmouse so we can use COM1 or what the I/O address of the busmouse would be. The Details =========== We have a Gateway Pentium that we recently installed FreeBSD 2.1 on. The only problem we have had so far concerns the BUS mouse. As mentioned by the FAQ, we have the device mse0 defined in the kernel at address 0x23c and IRQ 5. Also, we have a Logitech mouse which is supported according to the FAQ (if I read it correctly). On boot-up, the kernel reports that the device mse0 was not found at address 0x23c. We called gateway to see if they knew the address and irq of the busmouse port. The person we talked to did not know. We also have Windows 95 on another partition that works fine with the mouse. Under the system control panel item, we found out that the busmouse is at IRQ 12 but the address was not reported unfortunately. We then tried IRQ 12 by booting freeBSD with the -c switch and still no luck. We also tried using the COM1 serial port. When we enabled it in the bios, it started reporting a conflict but we could not find a conflict and could not even find a bios setting to disable the busmouse port. Has anyone had this problem? If this is a common question answered by some FAQ, please point me in that direction. Best case, we would like to find out the I/O address of the busmouse port. Or, if possible, we want to know how to disable the busmouse port. Thanks, Jimmy Ball
