PS2 Mouse Problems And ACPI?? Are They Related?

2003-10-24 Thread Brian Black
hi
  OS: 5.1R
  Mouse: Logitech optical wireless (the one with the rechargeable base 
station and like 7 buttons)
  *(This Mouse Is a usb mouse but i have a usb2ps2 connector that i have.)*
 After my install finished (gone well and returned no errors, but i did not 
set up the mouse yet).  So i am going to try to configure the ps2 mouse 
port.
  device  /dev/psm0
  port auto
  flags -z 4
After this i usually reboot the machine,(need to learn how to stop and start 
the moused from the command line ).  Now weather i set the mouse up this way 
or using /stand/sysinstall, i get the same effect.  If i move the mouse 
around in console mode i notice that it disappears while i am moving it and 
then reappears in its new position when i stop moving it.  So when i startx 
i cannot follow where my mouse is at because of the blinking problem.  This 
really [EMAIL PROTECTED]
 Now i notice if i disable acpi at startup the mouse works correctly in the 
console mode, but i loose the ability to use my usb ports(figures), and when 
i try to startx with acpi disabled my mouse is stuck in the top right corner 
jumping around.

Finally I try to use the mouse in the usb port, so i configure the mouse 
such as (rc.conf)
  usb_enable=YES
  moused_port=/dev/ums0  //This Number Came From dmesg.
  moused_type=auto
  moused_enable=YES
after a reboot i can c my mouse in console mode and it moves around, but an 
error occured during init of the rc.config file that reads something like 
cant open /dev/ums0, device busy.  X will not run returns with an error 
something like no core pointer available.

So I have no mouse available in new 5.x series.  I have no idea how to fix 
this, any advice would help out thanx.

  bj

 Same here. It manifest it self on AWARD BIOSes.
 See http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=55473

 On PS/2 it's working OK without ACPI.


I've just updated my BIOS to 7VT600F.F4
(The MB is a Gigabyte GA-7VT600) and the mouse is working with ACPI
enabled.
