Hello!

I'm having trouble with a PS/2 mouse on a HP Vectra 486/66N.
It works fine on another machine with Linux. IRQ is 12.

I recompiled the kernel with the following options which I read in the BSD FAQ, question :
options ALLOW_CONFLICT_IOADDR
device psm0 at isa? port "IO_KBD" tty irq 12 vector psmintr

I left the line for the console unchanged:
device sc0 at isa? port "IO_KBD" tty irq 1 vector scintr

On bootup, the messages for the two devices are:
sc0 at 0x60-0x6f irq 1 on motherboard
psm0 at 0x60-0x63 irq 12 on motherboard

But if I try to "cat < /dev/psm0" I get the message:
cat: stdin: Resource temporarily unavailable
:-(((

I would be very glad if somebody could help me. Otherwise I won't be able to
run X11 and the commandline gets a bit boring now... ;-)

Cheerio, Markus
