Fiddling psm(4) config flags

[Jeremie Le Hen]

Hi list,

When I enabled ACPI on my laptop, my mouse doesn't work anymore.  I've
enabled PSM_DEBUG and it seems the drivers fails here in psmprobe():

%   if (sc->config & PSM_CONFIG_NORESET) {
%       /* 
%        * Don't try to reset the pointing device.  It may possibly be
%        * left in the unknown state, though...
%        */
%   } else {
%       /*
%        * NOTE: some controllers appears to hang the `keyboard' when the aux
%        * port doesn't exist and `PSMC_RESET_DEV' is issued.
%        *
%        * Attempt to reset the controller twice -- this helps
%        * pierce through some KVM switches. The second reset
%        * is non-fatal.
%        */
%       if (!reset_aux_dev(sc->kbdc)) {
%           recover_from_error(sc->kbdc);
%           restore_controller(sc->kbdc, command_byte);
%           if (verbose)
% ==>           printf("psm%d: failed to reset the aux device.\n", unit);
%           endprobe(ENXIO);
%       } else if (!reset_aux_dev(sc->kbdc)) {
%           recover_from_error(sc->kbdc);
%           if (verbose >= 2)
%               printf("psm%d: failed to reset the aux device (2).\n",
%                   unit);
%       }
%   }

If anyone understands what's the problem, please let me know.

If I fiddle the source code to do as if PSM_CONFIG_NORESET was set, my
mouse works.  ``sc->config'' is set with device_get_flags():

% sc->config = device_get_flags(dev) & PSM_CONFIG_FLAGS;

device_get_flags() returns ``dev->devflags'', but I don't know how to set
this.  I would say I should do this from /boot/device.hints or
something like this, but I couldn't find any documentation about it.
Any pointer please?

Thanks.  Regards,
