  BTW, whatever way you do it, I just noticed this bit that confused me:

> \n" "       movl    %eax,_dataPS2                                        
> \n" "       movl    16(%esp),%eax                                        
> \n" "       movl    %eax,_dataPS2 + 4                                    

  Shouldn't those be indirect references, if dataPS2 contains a pointer to
the MOUSE structure?  I.e. "movl %eax,[_dataPS2]" and "movl
%eax,4[_dataPS2]"?  The way you have it to start with reads to me as if
you're overwriting the value of the pointer variable and the next 4 bytes
after it.  I may just be misunderstanding AT+T syntax, though, I only speak
intel myself.....


    cheers,
