I had recently tried getting a Wacom tablet working with Melissa's laptop. In doing so, I tweaked gpm and X and didn't realize I had made her USB mouse unrecognized. It was very late last night, so was hazy about what I was doing ;^) but I think I ended up reading /dev/input/mice via GPM and then repeating that and reading it in X. I then read /dev/psaux directly in X to get the little push-stick mouse that's on her laptop's keyboard to work. It took me a while to realize, but I had to change the /dev/psaux (which had previously been set to read from /dev/gpmdata) from type "MouseSystems" (which GPM was repeating as) to type "PS/2" (which is what the push-stick was sending via /dev/psaux). Maybe there's an issue with the 'type' of data you're reading, either directly, or from gpm's repeater...? Just stabbing in the dark. Still tired. ;) -bill! _______________________________________________ vox-tech mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.lugod.org/mailman/listinfo/vox-tech
