Hi. A question for you Thinkpad users out there. I've installed freebsd on my
thinkpad 360C. I've gotten the keyboard working fine with the following config
lines:

device          vt0     at isa? port "IO_KBD" tty irq 1 vector pcrint
options         "PCVT_FREEBSD=210"      # pcvt running on FreeBSD 2.1
options         "PCVT_SCANSET=2"

The problem is that my trackpoint mouse is never recognized. I have the
following line in the kernel config file:

device          psm0    at isa? port "IO_KBD" conflicts tty irq 12 vector psmint
r

The psm0 device is probed and it is claimed that "psm0: not found at 0x60".
Probing it manually (at boot -c) returns 0.

According to IBM documentation, this truely is a ps/2 style mouse at irq 12
and port 0x60. Did any of you find the same thing? Any advice?

I appreciate your help. I would like to run X (difficult without a mouse)!

Thanks - Murray
