Re: IMWheel help
I tried this but couldn't get it to work. I may have it setup
incorrectly though. Here's my gpm.conf:
device=/dev/psaux
responsiveness=
repeat_type=imps2
type=imps2
append="-R raw -l \"a-zA-Z0-9_.:~/\300-\326\330-\366\370-\377\""
and my XF86Config file:
Section "Pointer"
Protocol "IMPS/2"
Device "/dev/gpmdata"
BaudRate 1200
Resolution 100
Buttons 3
ZAxisMapping 4 5
EndSection
When I use this, I can't use the mouse. The mouse will move oddly and
is basically unusable. I'm sure you know what i mean since it's the
same response whenever the mouse protocol is incorrect. Is there
something I'm doing incorrectly?
