A step forward (?) in my mandrake 9.0 problem: mc will not work as user in
text consoles with gpm enabled. It will work as root, and strangely enough
a _second_ instance of mc will work while the first is spewing out
debugging information.
I have recompiled gpm and mc packages from source, to no avail.
OK, alias mc='mc -d' (disable mouse support) in my .bashrc gets around
this but I hate leaving the problem unsolved.
Debugging messages come from line 857 of gpm.c, here is
the stuff from line 856 on:
if (uid != statbuf.st_uid) {
gpm_report(GPM_PR_WARN,GPM_MESS_FAILED_CONNECT, uid, tty); /*SUSPECT*/
free(info);
free(tty);
close(newfd);
return -1;
}
free(tty);
My question is - why on earth on my system should uid != statbuf.s_uid
??? The same code is present in gpm.c of mandrake 8.2 but I don't have the
same problem there.
Is it because the kernel is different ?
Is it my video card ?
Is it ... ?
