Console freezes after Mouse started.

My console freezes. Seems like the keyboard fails, but the computer
is still alive, on the net. I can ditto to the console in question
and start typing.

This only happens when I run Mouse. The ‘Mouse ps2’ command seems to
invoke the proper driver, ‘Mouse test’ works okay, sees the mouse and
all appears okay, but after a couple of minutes, the keyboard stops.

‘sin’ does not see anything as blocked. I can slay just about
everything, but nothing brings the keyboard back.

Any suggestions?

Hi Jeff,

Are you running Photon? Any particular reason you are using mouse
instead of Input? (Console apps?)

I’m only running QNX, Watcom and TCP/IP. I needed to run the Watcom
debugger. Much easier with a mouse!

I wound up using another computer with a mouse, but would like to get
one on here. I’ve seen this before but could never attribute it to the
mouse until now.

I ran inputtrap, which gives the following line:
Input -v kbd -R fd -d/dev/kbd ps2 -r kb -2
&

When I run that line, I
get:
Could not attach to target device: errno=6

Then the keyboard freezes as soon as the mouse is moved. Until then,
everything works fine.

TAIA,

~
Jeff

Hi Jeff,

That is probably because by default Input wants to attach to /dev/photon
which doesn’t exist in your system.

Try something like this:

Mouse &
Input -d/dev/mousein ps2 kb -2 &

Take a look at Input and Mouse to get some ideas.
