As I just mentioned in a different thread, does gpm work properly? Forget about X until gpm works.I am back to XFree86 - once I get this going I will make 10 backups of it. When I run XFree86 -configure screen blends out - doesn't do anything for a long time and then it reboots. I need to reconfigure my mouse. I tried editing my config file direct but don't have a good sample to work of. All the once here look different like a totally different version or something. How did this happen you ask. I was trying to set up following but read on to see what happened: device=/dev/psaux responsiveness=25 type=imps2 repeat_type=raw
Answer this question:When in the console, do you, or do you not, see a white block cursor tracking your mouse movements properly?
__ Yes __ No __ I see the block cursor, but it doesn't track properly __ It doesn't move at all __ It's erratic
and your /etc/X11/XFConfig-4 file, Input Device section will look
something like:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Configured Mouse"
Driver "mouse"
Option "CorePointer"
Option "Device" "/dev/gpmdata"
Option "Protocol" "ImPS/2"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection
I do have a file called |gpmdata in /dev/ but the size is 0 and
it shows up black in mc plus it has this "|" in front
And last date changed shows just a few min. ago.
Looks like that file got corrupted somehow when I did the change to
XFConfig-4.
How do I get that file fixed?
My X id not working at all anymore until I can fix this.
And why did that happen?
