Robert,

am quoting almost directly from the message Henry Garcia sent replying to
my question on the same topic in the linux-mac68k mailing list:

Quote:

edit your XF86Config file in the /etc/X11/ directory
If you're going to use the gpm program, then edit the pointer section as
follows:

    Protocol    "Microsoft"
    Device      "/dev/gpmdata"

Or else kill the gpm program before starting X and edit as follows

    Protocol	"BusMouse"
    Device	"/dev/mouse"

Endquote.

If your set-up is like mine, then you will not have gpm (you have to load
it in addition to X from tasksel) so the second option above should work.

Thank Henry for this. It works for me either way.  I have other problems
with X, but that's for another time.

Regards,

pgrb
