Description
Hi,
I've done a full sync of the psm(4) driver with FreeBSD, you can check
the changes here:
http://gitweb.dragonflybsd.org/~tuxillo/dragonfly.git/shortlog/refs/heads/psm
Any review, comments, opinions are welcome.
The reason for doing this is that my mouse was not working in one of
the two machines I got connected to a KVM switch (mouse/keyboard/vga).
FreeBSD already solved this issue so I thought it was worth bringing
it. The port also includes a number of changes; you can check a small
list of them below:
- Support for A4 Tech RFSW-35 mouse wheel.
- Ignore strange return values in test_aux_port() from some laptops
(Compaq, Toshiba, Acer).
- Support synaptics touchpad w/ many features such as supporting
integrated wheel, up/down buttons or tapping.
- Synaptic tunables hw.psm.tap_enabled and hw.psm.synaptics_support to
control activation and/or features like gestures.
- Fix many issues with buggy KVM switches which got the mouse confused
on sync packets.
- ALPS glide point ID.
- Let some PS/2 mice to get directly to Explorer mode (i.e. A4Tech X-7xx)
Additionally I've built an USB Image for easier testing.

* Testing instructions:
1. Write the .img file to a USB stick, if you are in Windows you can
use flashnul (http://shounen.ru/soft/flashnul/)
2. Boot your PC/Laptop with the USB stick
3. Login as root and execute 'rcenable moused'. You should be able to
use the mouse normally.
4. If you have a synaptics touchpad, put in
'hw.psm.synaptics_support=1' and ' hw.psm.tap_enabled=1", reboot and
check whether tapping works on the console.
-------------
I've done some testing by myself with satisfactory results:
- VMWare VM DFBSD i386 - OK
- VMWare VM DFBSD x86_64 - Ok
- Acer Aspire One - DFBSD i386 (Synaptics touchpad detected, tapping
works on console)
- Dell Latitude D620 - DFBSD i386 - Ok (tapping doesn't work on
console, not synaptics)
- AMD Athlon X2 - DFBSD i386 connected to a buggy KVM switch - Ok
Cheers,
Antonio Huete

do you know the status of using moused with X ?
IIRC this has been broken for a while - but that was
before I was offline for a perod - so I could be way off here

Chris,
I do use moused and Xorg actually.

Hi,
I'll push this stuff during this week, if no one have any concerns about it.

This was pushed in 91be4d718298a092b2279227bb6ce190622b3fc9
Also, another commit changed the location of machine/mouse.h to sys/mouse.h as
there was no architecture dependent code. This has caused
x11/modular-xorg-server build to fail.
There's already a PR for this:

xorg issue already solved, closing this one.
