Hello List!
Here is a minor problem with gpm that I have been living
with for quite some time (always??) When switching from X to a
virtual console, I often encounter a badly behaving mouse, typically
requiring the following to get it straightened out. The mouse that
I use is a Radio Shack branded trackball with three buttons and two
scroll-wheels. It works excellently in X, and, when gpm's imps2
driver loads without complaining, it works perfectly on the virtual
terminals as well.
