Ahem. Well, I'm now stuck trying to get my mouse working. It's a DEC Celebris GL 5100 and has a PS/2 mouse. I added the lines options ALLOW_CONFLICT_IOADDR device psm0 at isa? port "IO_KBD" tty irq 12 vector psmintr to /sys/i386/conf/BUBBLES just after the "mse0" line, and took the opportunity to rip out the "wdc0" and "wdc1" controllers. I then remade the kernel and rebooted, and ran /stand/sysinstall to change my mouse-type to PS/2. But now bubbles# ls -l /dev/mouse lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 9 Feb 26 20:49 /dev/mouse -> /dev/psm0 bubbles# cat /dev/mouse cat: /dev/mouse: Device not configured and likewise when I try to "startx" I get (much stuff deleted) (**) Mouse: type: PS/2, device: /dev/mouse, baudrate: 1200 ... Fatal server error: Cannot open mouse (device not configured) but at least the keyboard didn't lock up this time, which is progress ... Anyone out there know the right magic incantation ? TIA, Peter Billam
