Subject: Re: Linux 0.97 PL 6 detecting bogus bus mice

        I applied this patch to 0.97.6 and it went in fine. My system does
now detect my PS/2 mouse, and the tst/mouse/mouse program that came w/ X11
doest something with it (the prog can't speak PS/2, but it does get input)
HOWEVER, after that my keyboard dies and IHAVE to power cycle the machine.
As such I put in a jmp no_psmouse at the start of the code in setup.S to
deactivate my mouse. It seems that there is a bug somewhere else.

        I have:
        Packard Bell 486-33
        Packard Bell PS/2 mouse

   I spent about a week verifying with them that the mouse conforms to the IBM
PS/2 mouse spec. They said 'it even uses the same controller as the keyboard,
just like the IBM's do.' so that may be the problem in itself.

        PS - Thanks for the patch. Atleast that part works now :}
