Success! Well, mostly, I get beeps now, but no mp3's, but I'm assuming that has more to do with the player than otherwise.
I needed to mess with gpm to get the third mouse button to work. I think if you have mouse symlinked to gpmdata, both will work simultaneously. Just you need to have both of them configured for the same protocol, speed, repeat, etc. I also have my laptop set to use both the internal and external mice simultaneously, and all still works. I'm rather happy now. ;-) Thanks! Aaron On Mon, 21 Aug 2000, Scott Eisert wrote: > Aaron, > > I have a 4200 with Debian Potato and the sound works great.
