Hello,
I'm having a devil of a time trying to figure out how to
reconfigure a
kernal. The scenario is I'm trying to set up Xfree86 to run with a PS/2
mouse. The installation instructions say to lookup reconfiguring a
kernal in the handbook. Well after reading all 400 title pages in the
handbook I am unable to locate the page describing how to reconfigure
the kernal. I did find handbook page 32 describing the dev abbreviation
psm0. The input "dev/pms0" was in the XF86Config file and the handbook
said to input "psm0 at isa? port "IO_KBD" conflicts tty irq 12 vector
psmintr" under the pointer section of the config file.
After typing the vi command ":wq" and starting xfree86 (xinit) the
system dumps a ton of information then stops stating the mouse device is
not enabled, underlining the psm0 command line previously described.
Am I reconfiguring the kernal correctly or are steps following the
changing of the config file that I am missing?
Thanks in advance,
Jeff
