I just installed gpm after reading your setup. My PS/2 mouse instantly left the screen, and X would make a beep sound whenever i moved the mouse. My settings were: device: /dev/psaux type: autops2 repeat type: m83 Those were the defaults provided by gpm, so i just took them. I think that the repeat type and type may be wrong though. If anyone here is using gpm with a PS/2, please send me your settings. > Mouse section in /etc/X11/XF86Config-4: > Section "InputDevice" > Identifier "Mouse0" > Driver "mouse" > Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" > Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2" > Option "Buttons" "3" > Option "Device" "/dev/gpmdata" > Option "SampleRate" "60" > Option "BaudRate" "1200" > EndSection I backed up my XF86Config-4 file first, then i added the SampleRate, BaudRate, and device you mention above. I did end up getting my old mouse back, but i would like a second try at getting this wheel to work. Perhaps i should RTFM or something... > The wheel did not work properly without the SampleRate and BaudRate > settings. (==timothy==) "Live to learn. Learn to love. Love to live."
