I have to admit that even in X I have several consoles always open as they can
make things work a lot better. I don't switch to the console for two reasons,
I do use some X apps (I prefer to browse with firefox, and even that is not
always enough due to badly written pages) and the second is that I like mouse
copy/paste and I don't feel like setting up the mouse for the console.
Not to mention, gpm config is a black art. I have no clue how to gpm
my mouse, and haven't for years.
The Shame, oh The Shame!
I knew how long ago, but gpm is not
easy these days.
Time to install Vista...
What protocol does a three button, serial, logitech
mouse use? None of what I've tried work. M/N:M-M35?

Description: mouse device autodetection tool
mdetect is a tool for autoconfiguring mice; it is typically used
as the
backend to some user-friendly frontend code. mdetect writes the
autodetected
mouse device and protocol (as used by gpm) to standard output. It
can be
invoked so as to produce output appropriate for XFree86 X server
configuration files.
