Hi,
I have a sid box with 2 videocards/monitors/keyboards/mice.
from gdm.conf:
...
[server-Standard]
name=Standard server
command=/usr/bin/X1 :0 -layout X1 -dpi 110 -deferglyphs 16
-isolateDevice \"PCI:0:10:0\" vt7
# Definition of the second X server.
[server-2nd]
name=2nd server
command=/usr/bin/X0 :1 -layout X0 -dpi 110 -deferglyphs 16
-isolateDevice \"PCI:1:0:0\" -sharevts
...
Only the tube on vt7 can have vt textconsoles *and* can use gpm.
The corresponding xorg.conf entries are:
...
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse0"
Driver "evdev"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/event5" # (cat
/proc/bus/input/devices)
Option "Name" "A4Tech USB Optical Mouse"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "6 7 4 5"
Option "Buttons" "12"
EndSection
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse1"
Driver "evdev"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/event6" # (cat
/proc/bus/input/devices)
Option "Name" "A4Tech USB Optical Mouse"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "6 7 4 5"
Option "Buttons" "12"
EndSection
...
My problem is that when the tube on vt7 switches to a vt testconsole and
uses the mouse *even though gpm has been stopped*, the mouse cursor on
the second monitor starts to move!
I have 2 questions:
1. Is there a textconsole function for copying/pasting similar to gpm
for the *keyboard*?
2. Whose bug is this? Since I assume this is erroneous behavior. Can't
be gpm because that isn't running. When it runs it behaves normal.
