GPM question
Okay, my mouse (a Logitech 3 button mouse, new) seems to work fine in X, and I know that it is connected to /dev/ttyS0. However, when I issue a gpm command, I get gpm: freopen(stderr) failed I've run the gpm config program many times, and the gpm config file appears to be built properly. In any case, the mouse appears to not work at all at the console under gpm. No cursor shows up, and according to ps ax, gpm does not continue after the above error. Paul M. Foster
gpm question
I recently upgraded a system from hamm to slink and then to potato and notice that gpm will only recognize the first 25 lines of my screen. I'm running SVGATextMode with a 80x30 screen. I seem to remember gpm working fine with this before. Is there something I missed?

I can only access 80x25, too. I shall file a bug report if I nobody knows the answer...

Otherwise gpm initializes with the standard 80x25 and then it doesn't know about what SVGATextMode has done to the screen. If you are already doing this then ignore me. -- Brian - Never criticize anybody until you have walked a mile in their shoes, because by that time you will be a mile away and have their shoes. - unknown Mechanical Engineering[EMAIL PROTECTED] Purdue University http://www.ecn.purdue.edu/~servis -

I wasn't, but that fixed it, although the patch for Bug #31815 appears to be the real solution.

GPM is smart enough to respond to console resizes. The bug reports that I menioned in an earlier post had to do with it failing to resize properly.
