The following is, as indicated, a kernel built from Jan 24 cvs snap.
Everything with this kernel is fine.
ttyp1:--ROOT--@portley (2)# uname -a
FreeBSD portley.mrynet.com 4.0-CURRENT FreeBSD 4.0-CURRENT #24: Mon Jan 24
17:36:27 PST 2000
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/src/sys/compile/PORTLEY i386
ttyp1:--ROOT--@portley (1)# moused -d -f -p /dev/cuaa0 -i all
moused: PnP COM device rev 1.0 probe...
moused: modem status 03
moused: alternate probe...
moused: cannot determine mouse type on /dev/cuaa0
/dev/cuaa0 unknown unknown generic
The kernel built today exhibits the same as mentioned before: hard hang.
Nothing at all moves. Not even the keyboard lights for CAPS, etc.
Just for graphics:
ttyp1:--ROOT--@portley (2) moused -d -f -p /dev/cuaa0 -i all
[The computer is now frozen solid]
Lemme know if I should check anything else that might be amiss on my
end, of if I can test anything else for you.
Thanks Kazu,
