Over the weekend I installed NetBSD-0.9 on my new toy. The installation was simple and straightforward. I then started working on X. It turns out there is no mouse driver in the generic kernel. As it is a PS/2 type mouse, the helpful man page suggested: device pms0 at isa? port "IO_BMS0" tty irq 5 vector pmsintr but this does not compile. IO_BMS0 is not defined in any header file. Replacing this with IO_BMS1 (which was defined) created a not-functioning kernel (it just hung at "pms0 ..."). So, what is the proper incantation? thanks --jeff
