Expert mouse help

["Allen J. Fulleton" <ajfulleton@mindspring.com>]

All,

I am trying to get my trackball to operate with <gpm 1.14> in v2.1.
This device is on /dev/ps2aux and no matter what protocol I try, I get
erratic mouse movements and no button events.  This is confirmed from
<mev>.

Can I change something in <gpm.conf>?  Can anyone tell me what the
'inword() LUT' string in the config file means?  I wonder if  I could
change this default string to make things work?

This trackball reports 'PS/2 Port PDP Ballpoint Protocol' from the help
in Win95.  The help from DOS suggest installing as 'Expert, Thinking,
Kensington, IBM or MS' mouse  but the various MS protocols are n/g.

It works OK in WARP & (ugh!)Win95.

Any help with this would be appreciated.  This trackball is a superb
device and I don't want to give it up!!!

 I am just getting my feet wet in Linux but what I see so far I like.
Since I am newbie, please   t a l k    L u n i x    s l o w l y !

Thanks in advance...

..Allen
