I wonder if anyone can help me get XFree86-1.2 working with the mouse. I tried the line 'ps/2 "/dev/vga"', and many other devices "/dev/tty00", "/dev/com0", etc, but could not get the mouse to respond. I know I saw people who were successfully able to use the busmouse with XFree86-1.2 when it was new, but I haven't been able to get it to work. Is there some way to get it going with the NetBSD 0.8 kernel? I also tried to get the 0.9 kernel sources, take the pms.c PS/2 mouse drivers from the 0.9 sources, and compile them into my 0.8 sources. This worked, and I the kernel was able to open the mouse on initialization of X. (I put a printf in pmsopen() that put a message to syslogd, so I know that the open routine was called.) However, the interrupt handler pmsintr was never invoked. I tried to set the IRQ to 5, like the 0.9 sources indicate and to 12 (which is what the DOS mouse driver uses). Neither settings cause the pmsintr() function to be executed. Does anyone know what interrupt the PS/2 mouse runs on? THANKS...
