Re: no mouse with X
I believe that link should be /dev/psaux -> /dev/mouse.
That's the way I have it, and it works fine.
I don't really need to cut-n-paste in console mode, so I
don't have gpm running.

Subject: no mouse with X
Hello. I'm trying to introduce a debian box to my
office....I am not
a sysadmin, so I stumble a little bit with these things.
Anyway, I want to make
a good impression of deb. I've installed woody. I'm
getting weird things
with the mouse. Can somebody help? Here's what's up.
I loaded up X server and it connects and all that. If I
start X with
gpm, I get a mouse, but it is very erratic and
unacceptable. So, if
I remove gpm, and then restart X, the mouse works fine
under X. Ok,
if I then reboot, there's no connection to the mouse
without gpm; so after
reboot (after removing gpm), the mouse is dead under X.
In the XF86Config-4 setup file I have the mouse
on /dev/psaux. I checked,
and there is a link from /dev/psaux -> gpmdata. I'm using
a ps/2 mouse.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.
