Hi, all!

I have a problem with the mouse initialisation in FreeBSD 5.2
My mouse is Logitech ps/2.
There are next strings in GENERIC file:
# atkbdc0 controls both the keyboard and the PS/2 mouse
device          atkbdc          # AT keyboard controller
device          atkbd           # AT keyboard
device          psm             # PS/2 mouse 
And the next strings in /boot/device.hints file:
hint.atkbdc.0.at="isa"
hint.atkbdc.0.port="0x060"
hint.atkbd.0.at="atkbdc"
hint.atkbd.0.irq="1"
hint.atkbd.0.flags="0x1"
hint.psm.0.at="atkbdc"
hint.psm.0.irq="12"
After loading process there is no device /dev/psm0 - so there is no
possible any works with mouse :( But in the same time keyboard ps/2 works
successful as device /dev/kbd0 and the same mouse works successful on
the same ps/2 port on another OS (Windows).
Is is right configuration of mouse in Kernel? If so, then
please, can you advise me something in this situation?

Best regards,
Konstantin Lednev                          mailto:klm at median.ru
