Re: IMWheel help
I use:
gpm:
mouse type imps2 coming off /dev/psaux, repeat type "raw"
x windows:
mouse type imps2 coming off /dev/gpm
I never have to restart gpm. The only time I have a problem is when
interrupts are missed for unrelated reasons; that sends the mouse
driver into a funny mode, from which you can recover by rolling the
mouse wheel back and forth a couple times.
