Your symptoms sound as though you might be. If so you need Option "Device""/dev/gpmdata" Option "Protocol" "IntelliMouse" And also check that /etc/gpm.conf contains something like repeat_type=ms3 device= ; might be /dev/input/mice or ; /dev/psaux - I've no idea type=imps2 If you are fiddling with gpm, just hop into a terminal and edit /etc/gpm.conf, restart gpm (with '/etc/init.d/gpm restart') and see if the mouse is happy in the terminal. Once it is working correctly, edit your /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 and restart X. -- richard -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Withoug gpm running, your mouse section should probably look something like: Option "Protocol" "PS/2" Option "Device" "/dev/psaux" Kent

I don't recall if there's simply one called "PS/2", but I do know there's one called "IMPS/2". I think that's for mice with a scroll wheel though... Just checked XFree86's site and there is a "PS/2" protocol. Try that first. Good luck Hall

Note what the protocol is that gpm is using (probably "ps2"). Then edit /etc/X11/XF86Config and set the mouse protocol to the same one gpm is using (probably "PS/2"). Be sure that X is using /dev/gpmdata, not /dev/psaux for input. Restart both, gpm first. It should work. I found with my Logitech MouseMan Wheel that when gpm was using "imps" and repeating "raw" that the wheel behaved really oddly while X was using "MouseManWheel", but when I switched X to "IMPS/2" it worked fine again (with the proper ZAxisMapping). -D
Re: X server and PS/2 mouse problem
If im the console the mouse works, you can try to youse the /dev/gpmdata. It works fine on my boxes. Look in your XFconfig file which device your X Server uses. Of course the GPM demon must be running. greets matthias On Fri, Jul 06, 2001 at 05:10:13PM +, Simon Lang wrote: > I am faced with a conundrum. > > I am running a new inst of Debian and have discovered my mouse will not work > properly.

Actually, /dev/psaux was my first guess when trying to get the mouse to work. The first time I tried to use the mouse was when I was setting up Xfree86. When I tried to use /dev/psaux in the XF86Config, it didn't work, but I read another message from the list where someone used gpm with the -R option and pointed to /dev/gpmdata. Doing it that way did the trick, but I needed that clarification that psaux actually was the device location.

PS/2 Mouse problem
I'm new to Linux and I'm having trouble using my mouse. It's a generic PS/2 compatible which doesn't run on any of my COM ports. The only informtion I could gather on it from my Win95 setup was that it's on a "PS/2 Compatible Mouse Port" and that it uses IRQ 12 in Windows. My BIOS has an "Enable PS/2 Mouse" which is enabled, and when I installed Debian the PS/2 was detected and the psaux module loaded. My problem is that I don't know where to tell programs like gpm or X Windows where the mouse is actually at in /dev. I've read through the manpages, the FAQ's and many of the HOWTOS and I'm at a loss. Any help on this would be most appreciated. Matt
