Well, this folows up from a previous post about mc. mc wasn't the real problem.
I've had to disable gpm in my brand new 9.0 installation, XFree 4.2, because it seems to be broken. All gpm seems to do in text console mode is make a large white rectangle which moves with the mouse but doesn't do anything useful, i.e. will not highlight and select text so that I can copy and paste. Also, with gpm enabled mc will work only as root; as normal user it seems to be working but the screen fills up with what seem to be gpm debug or error messages. Needless to say everything works perfectly with mandrake 8.2 on a different partition of the same machine. Has anyone else had this problem ? How could I go about debugging this ? -- Michele Alzetta
