ACPI - works for wireless fails for mouse

2009-09-07 Thread Eitan Adler
On my laptop when I boot with ACPI enabled my wireless card works but my mouse fails a few seconds after starting moused or X. If I boot without ACPI my mouse works but the wireless card fails. Is it possible to disable ACPI for the mouse and only the mouse (/dev/psm0, IRQ 12, glidepoint type)?

If you break out of the scan (^C), is the machine responsive? I've noticed a hang when scanning with my ndis'd 4318, but no problems otherwise. I can't break out of the scan with ^C. It just hangs. -- Eitan Adler Security is increased by designing for the way humans actually behave

relevant drivers are installed. /dev/sysmouse exists. The mouse works for a tiny bit and then fails. Its a laptop mouse - but it might be connected to the USB bus; 8.0 has better support for USB so I'm running freebsd-update currently to determine if it fixes the problem. -- Eitan Adler Security

When you install freeBSD via sysinstall you could switch to VT2 which displays what files it is currently installing and you could switch to VT4 which displays some kind of prompt. What exactly is that prompt? sh? What utilities does it have access to? When would you want to use it? -- Eitan
