I have often see "raw" mentioned as a solution to gpm/X troubles.
However, I use the following configuration:
# /etc/gpm.conf - configuration file for gpm(1)
#
# If mouse response seems to be to slow, try using
# responsiveness=15. append can contain any random arguments to be
# appended to the commandline.
#
# If you edit this file by hand, please be aware it is sourced by
# /etc/init.d/gpm and thus all shell meta characters must be
# protected from evaluation (i.e. by quoting them).
#
# This file is used by /etc/init.d/gpm and can be modified by
# /usr/sbin/gpmconfig.
#
device=/dev/input/mice
responsiveness=
#Old value. 6/17/02.
#repeat_type=ms3
repeat_type=
#Old value. 6/17/02.
#type=autops2
type=imps2
append=""
sample_rate=
Also,
$ ls -l /dev/input/mice
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Jun 19 12:11 /dev/input/mice -> /dev/psaux
The default repeat type seems to be something called "msc".
The mouse is a Logitech Wireless with a scroll wheel.
Does anybody know why this works?
Thanks,
Andy
