Hi folks. I noticed that the mouse device used on ARM systems when hooked up through VNC acts like a touchkit branch/model/whatever touchpad hooked up over PS/2, as opposed to a normal PS/2 mouse. If the particular driver for that touchpad isn't installed, then linux will apparently assume it's a regular mouse and will try to use a standard PS/2 mouse driver on it. The gem5 model waits for the linux driver to probe it in the way the touchkit driver does before it will start sending mouse events, so it looks like the mouse isn't working.
Is/was there a particular reason the emulated mouse device is a touchkit/touchpad device instead of being a more generic PS/2 mouse? I'd imagine it's more likely for an ARM device to be hooked up to a touchpad than a normal mouse, but it's still a little more esoteric as far as driver support.
