Re: X-Problems
Yes we can have gpm and X in a same bed for Debian too.
Following scheme works.
Run gpm with following. (/etc/gpm.conf)
Set gpm to read your real mouse device like /dev/psaux.
Set gpm repeater mode to ms3 which is default.
Set-up X
Read mouse from /dev/gpmdata or /dev/mouse which is link to /dev/gpmdata
Set mode to MS or Intellimouse depending on 2 or 3 button
If 2 button set emulation on
This way, you can unplug mouse and plug in again. You just restart gpm
to initialize. No need to restrt X. Quite handy when you have unreliable
KB switch unit which go crazy once in a while.
Bye.
