Re: Mouse problems on X (intellieye)



Thanks!  It turned out to be a combination of my gpm settings (I'm
still not sure what gpm really is) and the XF86Config settings. 
Currently, I'm using -m /dev/psaux -t pnp -r ms3 for gpm and using the
ps/2 protocol in XF86Config.  Don't know why it works, but it does ...

Thanks!

Jen
