If you are trying to pipe a mouse using gpm to X and its a serial mouse, then X needs to use the /dev/gpmdata device and not /dev/psaux since psaux can only be opened once, thus X won't be able to open it if gom already did. You will also need to set the repeat type so that gpm will repeat the mouse to /dev/gpmdata. You can either use raw and then use the ImPS/2 protocol also in X or change the protocol on the pipe such as ms3 and then use the appropriate protocol with X (gpm can pipe only into some of the protocols though). If you only want the mouse in X and not the console you can remove gpm all together and use /dev/psaux in X as the device. > > -- > ....................paul > > > To any other Nation the loss of a Nelson would have been irreparable, > but in the British Fleet off Cadiz, every Captain was a Nelson. > > -- Adm Pierre Charles de Villeneuve, > after the death of Adm Horatio Nelson > at the Battle of Trafalgar, October 21, 1805. > > > > > -- > To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] > with a subject of "unsubscribe".
