Description lindsaym 1999-11-15 07:20:01 UTC

Kernel does not detect PS/2 mouse. /var/log/messages shows "psm0 not found". As a result moused does not load. Manually running "moused -i all -p /dev/psm0" returns "device not configured" message. Linux and OpenBSD detect mouse as PS/2 device and load mouse daemon ok so I know hardware device is fuctional. (Note diagnostic clue: OpenBSD /var/log/messages shows mouse at "psm0 at vt0 IRQ12")

Laptop is a Sager 6500 (aka ProStar 3203T, Kapok 1100, FOSA 1100). AMD K6-2 300Mhz Processor, 128MB RAM

How-To-Repeat: Attempt FreeBSD load on referenced type system.

Workaround has been found.  It appears that the device is not 
returning expected value when probed.  Adding 'flags 0x400' forced 
the psm driver to recognize the device.  The PR originator reported 
this works.
