Re: BUG: SVGATextMode or GPM
> I am running lastest hamm, and when I upgraded to the new svgatextmode, it asked to remove the /etc/rc.boot files, and install new ones. I did so, but when I rebooted, it executed after gpm. When I boot, the kernel uses 80x25, and when svgatextmode runs, it changes it to 180x80. However, the mouse is locked in the upper left-hand corner. Running "/etc/init.d/gpm restart" fixes it, but svgatextmode should be run earlier in the sequence.
This is not a bug, this is a FAQ :-). Default TextConfig now includes (and
has been since 1.6-2, I think) the following line:
ResetProg "/usr/sbin/STM_reset"
STM_reset is a script that sends a WINCH signal to gpm notifying it of the
screen resize. Since TextConfig is a conffile, and yours has probably been
modified, the change never got through to you. This will be mentioned in
README.debian of the next version of stm.
