This seems to be nice. If I understand right gpm and X now use
the same mouse buffer, right? That would be have additional advantages
besides solving the problem.
Unfortunately I havn't a device /dev/gpmdata. The only gpm related
device might be
~> ls -l /dev/gpmctl
srwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Nov 3 12:23 /dev/gpmctl
Currently I use
~> ls -l /dev/mouse
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 5 Aug 30 12:41 /dev/mouse -> psaux
in /etc/gpm.conf and /etc/X11/XF86Config. How can I create the
/dev/gpmdata device?
Kind regards
Andreas.
