Re: HP Omnibook 6100 problems
I would suggest finding a compatable protocal for both your internal and
external mice and use gpm to confirm the ability to write to the
/dev/gpmdata fifo.
Then define only one input type in XFree86Config-4
I don't have your particular setup, but the following works for me
###
#Modified /etc/gpm.conf and /etc/init.d/gpm to generate
/usr/sbin/gpm -m /dev/psaux -t ps2 -Rraw -M -m /dev/input/mice -t ps2
-Rraw
# Two mice using same protocol writing to /dev/gpmdata
Modified /etc/X11/XF86Config-4
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "GPMMouse"
Driver "mouse"
Option "CorePointer"
Option "Device" "/dev/gpmdata"
Option "Protocol" "PS/2"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "true"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "Default Layout"
Screen "Default Screen"
InputDevice "Generic Keyboard"
InputDevice "GPMMouse" "CorePointer"
