Indeed, but I think that there are gpm patches readily available in the linuxconsole CVS. So the path would be USB--> Input core --> evdev --> (userspace) --> gpm --> X. Yeah, here's the patch for gpm. http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/linuxconsole/ruby/app-patches/gpm-input.diff > (Although thanks to your pointing me at linux-console, I now know that > someone > is working on it, ;) Note: I haven't tried this.
