Package: gpm Version: 1.19.6-20 Severity: normal
In brief, gpm's "-g 2" switch in for remapping tapping to the middle key isn't working for my Alps touchpad, which makes it hard to interoperate with an external three-button mouse. The Alps Glidepoint (on a vpr matrix 200a5) is correctly detected when the psmouse module is loaded: alps.c: Enabling hardware tapping input: PS/2 Mouse on isa0060/serio1 input: AlpsPS/2 ALPS GlidePoint on isa0060/serio1 In KDE's touchpad control panel, I can map tapping to the middle button and paste works. (Incidentally, how do I do this in the x-windows configuration file, so that I can use the touchpad for pasting in other window managers, such as icewm?) However, the remapping function in gpm, "-g 2", fails. gpm's man page says to use "-g 2" to map tapping to the middle button, but it has no effect on tapping. When I run /etc/init.d/gpm with the -xv switch, I see ++ start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --nicelevel 0 --exec /usr/sbin/gpm -- -m /dev/psaux -t autops2 -Rms3 -g 2 Other "append" commands work fine, for instance "-B 321". Incidentally, gpm-mouse-test refuses to proceed past the "Detecting the packet size" stage. The synps2 type does not work (no response). The device /dev/input/events3, which is used to identify the touchpad in x-windows, doesn't work (no response). Configuration file, /etc/gpm.conf: device=/dev/psaux type=autops2 repeat_type=ms3 append="-g 2" On starting gpm, left button selects and right button pastes. If I plug in a second mouse, an imps2, and press the middle button once, then the touchpad's right button gets remapped to extend selection, leaving me with no paste function. Using the "-2" switch works -- it forces the mouse into two-button mode, so I lose the "extend selection" function, but retain paste on both. A remap would be a lot better. mev details below -- everything looks fine, except tapping maps to button 1 instead of the far more useful button 2.
