I have Debian-1.1.4 and gpm-Linux 1.06. I do have gpm-root and /etc/gpm-root.conf. Is that what you meant? Because the man for gpm-root does mention the gpm-root.conf file. > - check out that gpm is running and you can see the mouse cursor on your Linux > console (if not you have to work on your gpm config). you may start gpm by > typing as root '/etc/init.d/gpm start' I found that doing /etc/init.d/gpm stop in a xterm just hangs until I ctrl-c or kill the gpm -k from another xterm (but then again, the gpm docs do hint at strange interference with X.) > PS: this trick is drawn from the documentations of gpm package. Many thanks > goes to it's author Alessandro Rubini What documentations did you see that I didn't? Hmm.. I don't have any source for gpm installed. Is that what I am missing? How do I get it in Debian? Thanks, Joost -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] . Trouble? e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
