Here's what I have: andre@mir:~$ ls -l /dev/gpmctl srwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 11. Okt 17:43 /dev/gpmctl andre@mir:~$ ls -l /dev/gpmdata prw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 16. Okt 08:45 /dev/gpmdata andre@mir:~$ ls -l /dev/psaux crw------- 1 root root 10, 1 11. Okt 17:43 /dev/psaux andre@mir:~$ cat /etc/gpm.conf | grep -v "#" device=/dev/psaux responsiveness= repeat_type=raw type=imps2 append=" -A180 -2 " sample_rate= and in /etc/X11/XF86Config: Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Configured Mouse" Driver "mouse" Option "CorePointer" Option "Device" "/dev/gpmdata" Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2" Option "Emulate3Buttons" "true" Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" EndSection However I sometimes have to restart gpm twice when X is running, don't know why. -Andre
