Hi,

A friend recently bought a Dell Dimension XPSR 400. He's using FreeBSD
2.2.7. FreeBSD doesn't detect his PS/2 mouse. The boot message is:
"aux not functioning" with error code 250.

He has tried to change some BIOS parameters, but without luck. We've
tried to change a couple of KBD_* defines to see it that could help,
we had no luck.

I should add that Windows 98, NT and Red Hat Linux 5.1 finds his mouse.

I've asked on #freebsd@efnet and searched the mailinglists, and saw
that there are quite many people that have problems with their PS/2
mice. Their solution was to use a serial mouse instead.

His computer have only _one_ serial port, the modem uses that. :-(

Can anyone help nailing this bug down? It looks like test_aux_port()
returns an error, so maybe one should start there?

Of course, we're willing to try patches.

Is the situation the same in 3.0-STABLE?

Regards, Tommy
PS. Please CC both me and Christian DS.
