1. All the suggestions earlier made by Bruce: renaming some symbols,
stricter error checking, removing redundant code, etc.
2. The `psm' driver preserves the default counter resolution and
report rate, whatever they are after reset. (Based on reports and
suggestion from Nate and Rob Bolin).
3. The `psm' driver now does not check the so-called sync. bit in the
first byte of the data packet by default, so that the tapping feature
of ALPUS GlidePoint works (based on reports from Louis Mamakos). I
tested the code with ALPUS Desktop GlidePoint (M/N GP101) and found
no problem; tapping worked. It appears ALPUS produces several models
of GlidePoint. I hope the other models are OK too.
The check code can still be activated by defining the PSM_CHECKSYNC
option in the config file. (The bit checking slightly reduces, if not
completely eliminates, weird mouse behavior cased by unsynchronized
mouse data packets. It also helps us to detect if the mouse interrupt
can ever be lost. But, well, if there are devices which cannot be
supported this way...)
4. The `psm' driver does not include the protocol emulation code by
default. The code can still be compiled in if the PSM_EMULATION option
is specified in the config file. Louis Mamakos suggests the emulation
code is putting too much in the kernel, and `moused' works well.
I will think about this later and decide if the entire emulation
code should be removed.
5. And, of course, the fix in `scprobe()' from Bruce to cure the
UserConfig problem. My code in `kbdio.c' is slightly different from
his patch, but has the same effect. There still is a possibility that
`scprobe()' gets confused, if, for whatever reasons, the user holds
down a key for very long time during the boot process. But we cannot
cope with everything, can we?

The 'getchar' function in syscons (sccngetc) is used by UserConfig to
get keyboard input from the user. When it was modified to use the
shared keyboard port routines it used the port passed in during the
probe routine. Since the probe routine was not yet called, the port was
set to 0, which is obviously not going to work.
Pre-initialize sc_port to IO_KBD which is really a kludge, but it's how
the previous driver did it's job.

This also fixes the breakage that I introduced to the psm driver by

hanging keyboard problem.
It works perfectly for me, and I'd like to hear from all that

2. Fixed code to match comment in scintr().
3. Don't allow even root to take control of the machine when securelevel > 0.
I've secured the accesses to PSL_IOPL in all drivers and asked pst to
review it, but he seems to be busy. Write access to /dev/kmem and
other critival devices currently leaks across raisings of securelevel
via open fd's, so there may as well be a similar leak for PSL_IOPL.

TIMER_FREQ.
Fixed missing splx() in scrn_timer(). The bug was harmless because of the
undocumented behaviour that the ipl is automatically restored for timeout
functions (see softclock()). Perhaps we should depend on this behaviour.
Fixed the ddb fix in rev.1.176. The in_debugger flag was no use because
it only works when the debugger is entered via the keyboard hotkey. The
debugger may be entered for breakpoints and traps, and the console putc
routine has no way of knowing when it was, so the console putc routine
must (almost?) always remove the cursor image.
Not fixed: console switching in ddb doesn't work (ISTR it working), and
console 0 shouldn't be switched to for the debugger hotkey unless console
0 is /dev/console.
Fixed side effects from calling add_keyboard_randomness() in the console
getc routine by not calling it. add_keyboard_randomness() currently
always reenables interrupts on 386's and 486's. This is very bad if the
console getc routine is called from the debugger and the debugger was
entered with interrupts disabled.
Fixed preservation of initial screen and now-bogus comment about it. It
was broken by setting the initial scr_buf to `buffer' instead of Crtat.
`buffer' was full of nulls and the first scroll cleared everything above
the things written through syscons.

and xdm, possibly in general.
What was happening was that the server was doing a tcsetattr(.. TCSADRAIN)
on the mouse fd after a write. Since /dev/sysmouse had a null t_oproc,
the drain failed with EIO. Somehow this spammed XFree86 (!@&^#%*& binary
release!!), and the driver was left in a bogus state (ie: switch_in_progress
permanently TRUE).
The simplest way out was to implement a dummy scmousestart() routine to
accept any characters from the tty system and toss them into the void.
It would probably be more correct to intercept scwrite()'s to the mouse
device, but that's executed for every single write to the screen.
Supplying a start routine to eat the characters is only executed for the
mouse port during startup/shutdown, so it should be faster.
This enables other consumers of the mouse, to get it info via
moused/syscons.
In order to use it run moused (from sysconfig), and then tell
your Xserver that it should use /dev/sysmouse (mknod sysmouse c 12 128)
and it a mousesystems mouse. Everybody will be happy then :)
Remember that moused still needs to know what kind of mouse you
have..

(A pointer to a const was misused to avoid loading loading the same

It can see that the value hasn't changed.)
If you define this, it means your keyboard is actually probable using the
brain-dammaged probe routine in syscons, and if the keyboard is NOT found,
then you don't want syscons to activate itself further.
This makes life sane for those of us who use serial consoles most of the
time and want "the right thing" to happen when we plug a keyboard in.
