   little confused cause the int 15h stuff was PS/2 mouse so how did that work   
   but the IRQ doesn't?

   it mean that it's disabled or there is nothing connected to the port.   
      
   what OS runs on your laptop ?   
   if it's not DOS or a very OLD windoze then it will ignore your code.   
   IRQ pointers and handling in Protected Mode is totally different to Real   
   Mode code. Virtual Mode may work with 16 bit code, but protect IRQs.   
      
   what type os connector is on your mouse ?   
   if it's not a round one then it is an USB-mouse.   
      
   PS/2 emulation for USB mice is possible on some machines but need to be   
   told to do so in the motherboard's chips-set.   
      
   sorry for I haven't asked all this earlier.
