I have plugged a PS2 mouse into the PS2 port of my Gateway 2000 DX4/100 (called Liberty) laptop. Running FreeBSD 2.0.5, I added device psm0 at isa? port "IO_KBD" conflicts tty irq 12 vector psmintr to my kernel configuration, rebuilt my kernel, and on booting, both the keyboard and the mouse probe successfully. But after booting, the keyboard is unusable. I noticed that the question pertaining to the psm driver is still in the FreeBSD FAQ but the answer is now gone. Does this mean that (temporarily?) psm support has been eliminated from FreeBSD 2.0.5? Is there something we PS2 mouse users should know? Or, is the problem some conflict between the PS2 mouse plugged into the PS2 port and the "builtin" (read, totally unusable) pointing device located on the keyboard? When the Liberty is running DOS and windows, both the mouse and the infernal builtin thing work together.... sts
