device psm0 at atkbdc?
The psm driver provides support for the PS/2 mouse style pointing device. Currently there can be only one psm device node in the system. As the PS/2 mouse port is located at the auxiliary port of the keyboard con- troller, the keyboard controller driver, atkbdc, must also be configured in the kernel. Note that there is currently no provision of changing the irq number. Basic PS/2 style pointing device has two or three buttons. Some devices may have a roller or a wheel and/or additional buttons. Device Resolution The PS/2 style pointing device usually has several grades of resolution, that is, sensitivity of movement. They are typically 25, 50, 100 and 200 pulse per inch. Some devices may have finer resolution. The current resolution can be changed at runtime. The psm driver allows the user to initially set the resolution via the driver flag (see DRIVER CONFIGURATION) or change it later via the ioctl(2) command MOUSE_SETMODE (see IOCTLS). Report Rate Frequency, or report rate, at which
irq12 flags 0x1000 recompiled kernel for the thousandth time. rebooted… noted psm0 showed up in the boot messages (YAY) did moused -p /dev/psm0 (nearly had a heart attack when it didnt say “device not configured”) vidcontrol -m on pointer appeared in console and worked! started X and finally have a working touchpad. Im still slightly in shock, first got fullscreen 24 bit display in X on this thing last night and tonight finally got touchpad working, no more external mouse 🙂 Well that was what worked for me, I havent looked into any special options on it, as I am just thrilled its working at all.
