Re: Mouse in X
Arlequin:
Here's what I'd do:
1. First, if you ever run in text mode (no X-windows) and plan to use gpm,
the first thing is to get gpm working. Type gpm<tab> to see a list of the
gpm utilities, one of them is the configuration tool.
2. The best tool I've found for X-configuration is XF86Setup. Don't touch
your mouse until you've used the keyboard to select the Mouse setup window,
memorize the keyboard commands to set the mouse type, device, etc. WITHOUT
using the mouse. Only touch the mouse to test motion & buttons until it's
working correctly.
If you are running gpm, then the device you want is probably /dev/gpmdata,
otherwise it's probably /dev/ttyS0 as you note.
Good Luck!
