AMouse

The system boots and hangs if user is moving mouse

OS: eCS 2.1 ACPI: 3.20.04 Kernel: 14.105 Motherboard: Foxconn 945G7AD Mouse driver: AMouse

CPU: the user tested different processors: Intel Pentium 4 3GHz, Intel Pentium Dual Core 1.6GHz, Pentium Core 2 Duo 1.8GHz

Let's keep Core 2 Duo CPU.

IBM Mouse

The user changed AMouse to IBM Mouse. No hangs, 3 buttons are working buy wheel doesn't work. That's why the user is interested in AMouse.

/VW switch

AMouse, ACPI /VW switch

The system boots, no hangs. 2 CPUs in eCenter.

Several eCS users reported their USB keyboards were dysfunctional during config.sys processing (see bugs 3233 and 3229 at ​http://bugs.ecomstation.nl/). It was assumed the problem was with the USB drivers. However, my testing suggests that ACPI.PSD disables legacy-mode operation for keyboard and mouse.

Environment:
Intel Core2 Quad CPU, Intel "Classic" mobo with ICH10
USBUHCD, USBEHCD, USBD - v10.162, 10.182, 10.183ga, 10.183-voyage_2012_06_20
USBHID - v10.162, 10.959 (from Rudi Ihle)
ACPI - v3.20.03, no switches
USB v1.1 keyboard and v2.0 mouse, plus PS/2 keyboard (having both keyboards attached did not affect results)

Methodology: On line 1 of config.sys, I put DEVICE=F:\OS2\BOOT\PAUSE.SYS so a keypress would be required immediately after the BASEDEVs had been loaded but before any other drivers loaded. For many tests, I changed this to "PAWSE.SYS" to get the kernel's error message instead. The results were the same either way.

Test 1: I tried each of the driver versions above. In every case, the USB keyboard failed to generate a keypress.

Test2: I REM'd-out every USB-related driver. By rights, Legacy Mode should have remained enabled and usable on the Desktop. Instead, the keyboard was dead for pause.sys and on the Desktop.

Test3: With all the USB drivers disabled, I also REM'd-out ACPI.PSD. The USB keyboard worked for pause.sys and on the Desktop. The mouse pointer moved but the buttons didn't work.

Test4: I reenabled all USB drivers but left ACPI disabled. The keyboard was usable in Legacy mode during config.sys processing and in full-featured mode after the USB drivers were loaded and initialized.

Since my original tests, I've also tried the /VW and/or /PIC switches with no change in result. Attached are the outputs from acpistat, acpitree, and pci.exe.

Enabling Power Management and changing something (ex. Celsius instead of Fahrenheit), the error DosWrite?(rc=109) occurr clicking OK. After, each time you run powermanager the message "Power Manager service is not available" appear, even if acpidaemon is running, however with another instance of acpidaemon open in a cmd window, operates again. Suspend/Resume? works very fine, only the PS/2 mouse must be disconnected and reconnected to work again, perhaps related to the problem of acpdaemon above?
