you did nothing wrong, the psm mouse is cleanly supported in a vanilla
FreeBSD. One solution is to add the following line to /sys/i386/isa/isa.c
(on line 105 in my file)
int
haveseen(dvp, tmpdvp)
struct isa_device *dvp, *tmpdvp;
{
int status = 0;
/*
* Only check against devices that have already been found
*/
if (tmpdvp->id_alive) {
/*
* Check for I/O address conflict. We can only check the
* starting address of the device against the range of the
* device that has already been probed since we do not
* know how many I/O addresses this device uses.
*/
if (tmpdvp->id_alive != -1) {
if ((dvp->id_iobase >= tmpdvp->id_iobase) &&
(dvp->id_iobase <=
(tmpdvp->id_iobase + tmpdvp->id_alive - 1))
/* for ps/2 mouse */ && dvp->id_iobase != 0x60 ) {
conflict(dvp, tmpdvp, dvp->id_iobase,
"I/O address", "0x%x");
status = 1;
}
}
[much deleted]
I added the line that starts /* for ps/2 mouse */
this may not be the future official way of disabling the second probe,
so use all the standard disclaimers.
--mark.
