The PS/2 mouse uses IR 12 by default. You are confused. :) device psm0 at isa? port "IO_KBD" conflicts tty irq 12 vector psmintr To answer the original poster's question, the PS/2 driver in 2.1.* was completely re-written in 2.2, and works much better. Unfortunately, it's no trivial matter to port it back to 2.1, so if it doesn't work for in 2.1.* there here is a suggestion. Hard-code the probe to *always* return true, and see if it works. I did this on my ThinkPad's and it worked fine. Nate
