Re: Trying to setup a wireless keyboard + mouse

["Jeff Gratton" <grajea02@hotmail.com>]

Hello Florian,

I'm not using gpm, no. My understanding of gpm is that is mostly a software 
to let you use a mouse in a console; since I use my mouse exclusively in X, 
I never bothered to install gpm.

I didn't think of tailing /dev/input/mice while moving the mouse. I'm at the 
office right now, I'll try that once I get back at home. I can tail 
/dev/input/mice from here, but it'd take rather long arms to move the mouse 
:)

Thanks for answering,

Jeff
