-----------------------------------------------------
/dev/mouse is a link to /dev/gpmdata
I have selected /dev/gpmdata in Xf86Setup
I have selected /dev/psaux in gpm.conf
Now the mouse works in All X windows apps including anything run in an
xterm window.
It will still only cut and past in the console apps. This is an
improvement! Thanks.
Any other tips or ideas. I still would like to have full mouse control
in the console apps.. i.e. MC and some other curses based apps. I
repeat, it worked fine for 3 years before upgrading to Debian 2.2r2 and
changing to gdm as my Xwindow display manager. Since this was a complete
reinstall I really don't know where to look.
