Basically, the best thing to do is if CONFIG_82C710 is defined, assume
that type of mouse is connected.
This might hose regular PS2 mouse users who are compiling a kernel for
both regular PS2 usage and 82C710 mouse usage, but that's the sacrifice
you have to make.
Or if there's any way to determine if it's REALLY a ps2 device, then do
that before assuming it's a 82C710 device. Otherwise, assume it's a
82C710 if the CONFIG_ is ifdef'ed.
It seems the kernel code fo rthe 82C710 works, just the auto-detection
is busted. So if in make config you say that you have the TI Travelmate
mouse, just assume that if a PS2 device is detected, that it WILL be
a 82C710.
Does that make any sense? I've been up almost all weekend (short of 3
hours sleep) and am full of coffee, so I'm rambling. => Please forgive,
but that's the way life goes. If anyone can make heads or tails out of
this who could use this input, cool.
