Also, as I've said before, adding a symlink in the mix can only confuse things further. Forget about a /dev/mouse symlink. Tell gpm to use /dev/psaux and tell X to use /dev/gpmdata.

I explained this in an email a few weeks back with subject line "mouse freezes" back on Feb 13; check the archives. Actually, with a little googling, it seems I've explained this more than once already =) See these, please: http://groups.google.com/groups?selm=20010627135905.A10128%40doorstop.net http://groups.google.com/groups?selm=20020214082809.GA947%40doorstop.net (20020213210941.GC903@doorstop.net seems to be missing from groups.google.com, but it's quoted (albeit rather rudely) here:) http://groups.google.com/groups?selm=20020213220924.GN16216%40ufies.org HTH =) Feel free to ask for clarification on those or anything else as they come up. > >> What does the ZAxisMapping thing mean? ZAxisMapping is used to tell X which buttons you want to use for your mouse's Z Axis. When you turn the scroll wheel up or down on a wheel mouse, it generates a button event. The usual case (a 3-button mouse with a wheel) is that button events 4 and 5 correspond to wheel motion, and X should take note of this and recognize that buttons 4 and 5 correspond to "up" and "down" on the Z axis. (I may have confused which is up and which is down, but I think you get the point.) good times, Vineet -- Currently seeking opportunities in the SF Bay Area Please see http://www.doorstop.net/resume/
