Package: gpm Version: 1.20.4-3.3 Severity: important
This update to gpm has broken my mouse support. gpm seems to load (although initialy I saw crashes). It seems to run as gpm -m /dev/input/mice -t exps2 taken from /etc/gpm.conf. (It is hard to write this with no cut & paste) /var/log/messages says "started gpm successfully ..." There is, however no cursor although clicking button 1 produces inverse video character block in centre of screen on tty. Mouse/ball movement has no effect. Of course, there is nothing under X either. lshal shows ImExPS2 Logitech Explorer Mouse. /etc/init/gpm strace fails, although I can run under strace manually. Without a mouse, can't really use X, so a rather serious bug.... :-( Sorry that there isn't much to go on in this report thus far... -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.33-rc8_exact-60597-gb0483e7 Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages gpm depends on: ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.28 Debian configuration management sy ii debianutils 3.2.2 Miscellaneous utilities specific t ii dpkg 1.15.5.6 Debian package management system ii install-info 4.13a.dfsg.1-5 Manage installed documentation in ii libc6 2.10.2-2 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libgpm2 1.20.4-3.3 General Purpose Mouse - shared lib ii lsb-base 3.2-23 Linux Standard Base 3.2 init scrip ii ucf 3.0025 Update Configuration File: preserv gpm recommends no packages. gpm suggests no packages. -- debconf information: * gpm/responsiveness: * gpm/repeat_type: none * gpm/append: * gpm/restart: false * gpm/sample_rate: * gpm/device: /dev/input/mice * gpm/type: exps2 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
