/home/cyberdemo/.xinitrc: line 3: 291 Broken pipe blackbox xinit: connection to X server lost. waiting for X server to shut down Fatal server error: Unable to set status of mouse fd (Interrupted system call)If I just kill gpm, I can start x normally, and even switch to the console and back again to x (that was my original problem). Anyone with the same problem/suggestions/hints/prayers to keep gpm and x running at the same time? I'd appreciate your help.
i have gpm configured as follows: device=/dev/mouse responsiveness=15 repeat_type= type=ps2 append="-3 -a 3 -d 5 -l \"a-zA-Z0-9_.:~/\300-\326\330-\366\370-\377\""and i have X set to use /dev/mouse as well, i have no problems running both at the same time, i have even tried to cause a problem by moving the mouse all over the place while switching back and forth between the console and X, after a few months never had a problem..
the -a and -d just control the acceleration in the console the -3 tells it i have a 3 button mouse, -l is from debian defaults...
i think your problem was leaving -R on.. the repeater method with X i tried but it makes the mouse work like in windoze, i simply can't stand that, but fortunately there seems to be no need for the repeater thing.
