No go - I'm trying to help Nasser on this - his mouse is an ATI InPort mouse,
which doesn't seem to respond to that particular busmouse driver (at all!).
We've tried rick@snowhite.cis.uoguelph.ca's busmouse driver, which has InPort-
specific code, but was written for vanilla 0.1, and thus needs some updating
for NetBSD/post-patchkit-0.1... I'm tried some modifications to the select
code, and have managed to get it to work with rick's supplied test program
but Xfree86 won't read from the keyboard unless the mouse is moved (at
which time the keyboard characters spurt out).
Because of this, I believe it's a problem with selwakeup()...
write now (:-) rick's driver passes a second argument as just 0 -- should
this be tp->state & TS_WCOLL or TS_BUSY? (This is from memory - the tp->state
may be wrong).
Is there a kernel internals description anywhere!?
Thanks.
