Re: PS/2 mouse mystery
Turning off gpm is oneway but there is a better way.
Read from /dev/gpmdata and read with intellimouse or ms mode
if you are using default /etc/gpm.conf.
There areadvantage to do this. No matter what happens
with mouse, you do not need to restart X but simply
restart gpm which get everything in order. Unplug it
if you feel like.
Also link /dev/mouse to /dev/gpmdata, then X can read from
/dev/mouse. GPM should always read from /dev/psaux.

Osamu
