Hi!
I finally got the psm driver installed into FreeBSD and it seems to work.
At least the mouse is recognized at boot time, but ...
When running X, the mouse is unusable. I'm used to some bad response to
user actions with X, when the system is under heavy load but my system
is idle and the cursor doesn't move at all but jumps in units of a
quarter of the screen aproximately.
When I press and hold SHIFT or some other mode key, the cursor moves
fine.
Is this a general PS/2 mouse problem I've run into? I've read about
PS/2 mice generating lots of interrupts, but what about serial mice then?
A Microsoft mouse connected to the serial port works just fine.
