The recent changes regarding moused and sio:
usr.sbin/moused/moused.c
----------------------------
revision 1.37
date: 2000/01/24 10:26:46; author: yokota; state: Exp; lines: +3 -1
Added the PnP ID for MouseSystems SmartScroll Mouse (serial mouse).
This mouse may be a OEM version of Genius EasyScroll Mouse.
(The mouse has three buttons on top, one side button and a wheel which
also acts as a button. However, I know no way to activate the wheel,
and it can only be used as an ordinary 3-buttons mouse :-)
----------------------------
revision 1.36
date: 2000/01/20 13:39:08; author: yokota; state: Exp; lines: +3 -1
Add the PnP ID for the Logitech Cordless MouseMan Wheel (serial
version).
----------------------------
Both changes have nothing to do with the way moused accesses the serial
port.
sys/isa/sio.c
----------------------------
revision 1.287
date: 2000/01/29 03:02:55; author: bde; state: Exp; lines: +9 -2
"Completed" the previous fix. Return ENOMEM on memory allocation failure
in sioattach(), not ENXIO. Free resources before returning early in
sioprobe() and sioattach().
----------------------------
revision 1.286
date: 2000/01/23 15:11:15; author: n_hibma; state: Exp; lines: +2 -2
Return ENXIO on error, not 0. Seems to have been skipped when converting
to newbus.
Reviewed by: bde
----------------------------
Both changes have effect only when we fail to attach a serial port,
which is not the case with your machine...
Hmm. Any idea, Bruce?
