Bug#241336: Mouse doesn't work after xfree86 upgrade
How would one check that? I've put my config file below. Sorry all I don't
know too much about how this works. All I know is that it used to work. I
upgraded and now it doesn't.
$ cat /etc/gpm.conf
# /etc/gpm.conf - configuration file for gpm(1)
#
# If mouse response seems to be to slow, try using
# responsiveness=15. append can contain any random arguments to be
# appended to the commandline.
#
# If you edit this file by hand, please be aware it is sourced by
# /etc/init.d/gpm and thus all shell meta characters must be
# protected from evaluation (i.e. by quoting them).
#
# This file is used by /etc/init.d/gpm and can be modified by
# /usr/sbin/gpmconfig.
#
device=/dev/psaux
responsiveness=
repeat_type=ms3
type=autops2
append=""
sample_rate=
