Re: [coreboot] PS/2 Mouse on KGPE-D16

[cb]

Not a silly question:

# CONFIG_DRIVERS_PS2_KEYBOARD is not set

but the PS/2 keyboard works. Is that setting essential for a mouse to
function?

[coreboot] PS/2 Mouse on KGPE-D16

[cb]

Has anybody had any success using a PS/2 mouse on the KGPE-D16?



I tried a few PS/2 compatible USB mice, along with an adaptor, without
success and thought that the mice might be to blame but I've just
confirmed a native PS/2 mouse doesn't seem to work either.


I've tried booting directly from SeaBIOS and also with GRUB2 as a
secondary and no combination I try seems to work.

Re: [coreboot] Crowdfunding Status for KGPE-D16 BMC Port Offer

[cb]

That's great news. I notice that the goal amounts for the serial console
access and thermal management have increased. Why is that?

Re: [coreboot] Where to get ME image/flash descriptors for the x220?

[cb]

There's a lot of useful info here relating to X230 ECs, which may help.
Mostly applicable to the X220 too.

Re: [coreboot] Where do I get cables that can fit a SOIC8 clip?

[cb]

If 10cm is short enough for your application, they are readily available
on Ebay under "Dupont ribbon". Quality varies wildly though.
