Dear mailing list,
I'm running Debian inside Connectix Virtual PC 6.0.1. This software
simulates Pentium-based hardware on a Macintosh. It lets the guest OS
"captue" the Macintosh mouse - when the guest OS wants to use the mouse,
the Macintosh pointer disappears and the guest OS receives mouse events.
This is done using a virtual PS/2 device.
This functionality works with the following kernels (with relevant
configuration options). They are stock Debian kernels.
2.2.20:
CONFIG_MOUSE=y
CONFIG_PSMOUSE=y
2.4.18:
CONFIG_PSMOUSE=y
The mouse is free until X starts up (getting mouse events from
/dev/psaux) and is then "captured" and usable in X. But with
2.6.0-test11, this functionality is broken. The relevant parameters in
my .config are:
CONFIG_INPUT=y
CONFIG_INPUT_MOUSEDEV=y
CONFIG_INPUT_MOUSEDEV_PSAUX=y
CONFIG_INPUT_MOUSE=y
CONFIG_MOUSE_PS2=y
CONFIG_BUSMOUSE=y
I have tried:
1) Using /dev/input/mice and /dev/psaux in my XF86Config
2) Passing psmouse_noext=1 to the kernel
Neither gave any success.
Please cc: me on any replies as I am not subscribed. Thank you for your
time.
Sincerely,
Sean Callanan

Enable DEBUG in drivers/input/serio/i8042.c and look at dmesg output
(and send it to me, too). There one can see what went wrong, what's
not being emulated correctly.
