Re: pseudo-OT: curious -- why GPM????
Hi Xucean,
I do a lot of my stuff in console mode (without
x running). I like having mouse to cut/paste stuff here
just like I do when I am using an editor under x. I set up
my systems x server to use gpmdata and have never had mouse
problems in either x or console.
just my 2 Cents worth.
