I have to say that using the gpm autodetect never worked for me. Just type in the mouse type and info yourself Just use /dev/psaux for the mouse type.
I never used XF86Setup. Didn't like it. I prefer xf86config, much better! Try that and use the same driver for the mouse. > -----Original Message----- > From: Michael Stenner [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Friday, April 30, 1999 10:11 AM > To: Debian User Mailing List > Subject: silly mouse question > > At least I hope it's silly > > Installing 2.1_r0 and I have a PS/2 mouse (says so on the mouse) plugged > onto the PS/2 port on the box.
