checked and /dev/mouse is a link to /dev/input/mice. my mouse is a
usb. The book said that usb mice should be /dev/input/mice. I have
tried both MDEVICE="/dev/mouse" and MDEVICE="/dev/input/mice". I have
tried PROTOCOL="msc" PROTOCOL="ms+" PROTOCOL="imps2" this one should
be for a PS2 mouse but I have the mouse plugged into a usb port. Yes
gpm is running. It is the last entry on the screen before the login
prompt and when I ps-e I see it in the list.
