Bug#307638: gpm: upgrading from 1.19.6-12 to 1.19.6-19 mouse doesn't work in X

2005-05-05 Thread Peter Samuelson
[Eric Van Buggenhaut] If I use /dev/gpmdata the pointer is frozen on the screen, I can't move it around. That's odd. You *did* try it with XFree86 protocol Intellimouse? This is normally pretty foolproof if you have gpm running with repeat_type=ms3. If I use /dev/psaux and Intellimouse the
