So my guess is that there's some issue with Solaris x86 and the ps/2 mouse. - no i8042 / mouse device found by the Solaris kernel - or no data received from the kvm / ps/2 mouse by Solaris' i8042 driver - or the Solaris vuid3ps2 PS/2 mouse module has problems with the mouse hardware - .... > Haven't tried a USB mouse yet, so that'll be the next > thing i do ... > > > > I somehow hope that it's not the KVM, if that is the > problem then i'll have to use another pair of input > hardware and switch the Monitor manually ... and i > already have 2 KBs and 2 Mice on my Desktop. You can try to install the OS in text mode, and when everything is installed, try to fix the ps/2 mouse problem. To install in text mode, select option "4 Solaris Interactice Text (Console session)" from the initial menu after the GRUB boot screen. When the OS is installed, it'll use the Xorg server as the default X11 server, instead of the Xsun server that is used at installation time. You can use the command "kdmconfig" to switch between Xsun and Xorg X11 server. Maybe it's possible to get the ps/2 mouse working in X.org with a custom /etc/X11/xorg.conf file (you have to create that file using /usr/X11/bin/Xorg -configure or /usr/X11/bin/xorgconfig).
