Fw: Still No Cursor in X Now Closer!
Casey, I am now closer. I used your conf and got a cursor about 1" square
in the X windows. It looks as if the upper left corner is the cursor point.
So now I have to get the cursor down to real life size. Below is the conf I
currently have that worked thanks to you. Note the lines that I commetted
out. Thanks! John. Here is my present config: Any suggestions on where I
go from here??
gpm.conf:
device=/dev/psaux
responsiveness=
repeat_type=raw
type=psw
append=""
------------
XF86Config Pointer section:
Section "Pointer"
Protocol "PS/2"
Device "/dev/gpmdata"
# BaudRate 1200
# Emulate3Timeout 50
# Resolution 100
# Buttons 3 this line was commeted out before
# Emulate3Buttons
EndSection
