Re: The X / mouse touble
I just compiled something, which could go with the Debian documentation (the
faqomatic is not working). Is there already somebody, which compiles the
release documentation for potato?
Mouse works with gpm, but not with X:
=====================================
gpm repeats the mouse activity (see man gpm, flag -R) optionally. In this
example ms3 is the repeated protocoll:
Current configuration: -m /dev/psaux -t ps2 -R ms3 -l
"a-zA-Z0-9_.:~/\300-\326\330-\366\370-\377"
Device: /dev/psaux
Type: ps2
Repeat_Type: ms3
Append: -l "a-zA-Z0-9_.:~/\300-\326\330-\366\370-\377"
Do you want to change anything (Y/n)? n
Starting mouse interface server: gpm.
It seems, that this prevents X from working with the configuration
[/etc/X11/XF86Config]
[...]
Section "Pointer"
Protocol "PS/2"
Device "/dev/psaux"
[...]
correctly. To solve the problem, either change the repeat type of gpm
to none or use the gpm repeat channel
[/etc/X11/XF86Config]
[...]
Section "Pointer"
Protocol "IntelliMouse"
Device "/dev/gpmdata"
[...]
independent of the acutal protocol of the physical mouse. The
advantage is, that whenever mouse needs to be re-configured, running
gpmconfig is sufficient. The X configuration remains unchanged.
