Hello!
First I like to thank everyone involved for the excellent work on LFS
and BLFS!
I'd like to suggest a little modification of "/etc/rc.d/init.d/gpm" from
"blfs-bootscripts-20060624.tar.bz2":
Thanks for the submission, Christoph. Sorry for the extremely late reply.
-if [ -z "$MDEVICE" ] || [ -z "$PROTOCOL" ]
+if [ -z ${MDEVICE} ] || [ -z ${PROTOCOL} ]
This needs to stay with the "" for sh compatibility unless either of
these variables is empty. Bourne sh can't handle [ -z ], which is
what would happen without the "".
- loadproc /usr/sbin/gpm -m "$MDEVICE" -t "$PROTOCOL"
"$GPMOPTS"
+ loadproc /usr/sbin/gpm -m ${MDEVICE} -t ${PROTOCOL}
${GPMOPTS}
;;
stop)

I replaced the double quotes witch curly braces. Then you can write eg
GPMOPTS="-B 321" in "/etc/sysconfig/mouse" to swap the mouse buttons...
So, with the "", gpm doesn't handle the multiple arguments correctly?
I actually don't think the {} are needed, but they can't hurt. Could
you see what happens if you just have $MDEVICE, etc.
