what was the problem with ps/2?
18:16:35
fitzsim
I don't know what the problem is yet
18:16:53
fitzsim
that picture is the result of some experimentation
18:17:34

I noticed that when I have a USB mouse plugged in, the coreboot PS/2 probing notices it
18:17:48
fitzsim
so I plugged in a USB mouse and a USB keyboard too, for good measure
18:18:06
fitzsim
then I had my kids mash on both of them during and after boot
18:18:37

eventually we got some "Ignoring unknown scancode" messages
18:18:53
fitzsim
(from the physical keyboard, I think)
18:19:14
fitzsim
eventually I managed to register a '0', which cleared the DHCP restart
18:19:32
fitzsim
and then shortly after (not sure when) I noticed that the trackpad was working
18:20:05
fitzsim
at that point I could open a REPL, the scancode messages stopped, and I could use the laptop keyboard normally
18:20:27
fitzsim
I wasted no time taking that picture showing everything working :-)

the nib still doesn't work, and nor do the USB input devices
18:23:07
fitzsim
I'll keep experimenting to see if I can get a reliable recipe to recover PS/2 input
18:23:42
fitzsim
but I'm really happy with the progress, since I can actually use Mezzano now

very weird. I wonder if it was mixing up keyboard & mouse bytes
