Omega Progress: Feb. 17th, 2009

I still haven't finished the graphics driver to support higher resolutions, because I was sidetracked by this terribly mundane yet essential PS/2 mouse driver. I have just completed it and it works on both real hardware and emulated hardware. It is amazing to see the mouse finally working. Right now I am just printing a dot in place of a modern cursor and it is pretty cool to see it moving around the screen in sync with my PS/2 mouse. I believe the USB mouse emulates a PS/2 mouse but works using a different IRQ, so I may also take more time to further develop the mouse driver to support the USB mouse as well. All this by the first major release. I hope.
