Re: Mouse Doesn't Work with X
The way to make ALL of this work is:
IN FILE /etc/gpm.conf:
# /etc/gpm.conf - configuration file for gpm(1)
#
# If mouse response seems to be to slow, try using
# responsiveness=15. append can contain any random arguments to be
# appended to the commandline.
#
# If you edit this file by hand, please be aware it is sourced by
# /etc/init.d/gpm and thus all shell meta characters must be
# protected from evaluation (i.e. by quoting them).
#
# This file is used by /etc/init.d/gpm and can be modified by
# /usr/sbin/gpmconfig.
#
device=/dev/psaux
responsiveness=
type=ps2
append="-R"
THEN IN FILE /etc/X11/XF86Config
Section "Pointer"
Protocol "MouseSystems"
Device "/dev/gpmdata"
BaudRate 1200
Emulate3Timeout 50
Resolution 100
EndSection
