Nope. Delete it right now! Forget the GPM mouse. Mine (a 2500) is
simply configured as a PS2 mouse. I still can't get anything to act
like a third button, but its a heck of a lot simpler than trying to
fight with GPM (check your syslog - it's full of garbage, along with
numerous warnings that it discarded signals).
Here's my InputDevice sections. I've only just noticed that I still
have the Touchpad pointing at /dev/gpmdata, even though gpm is gone,
which makes me suspect that it's simply a matter of both devices
using PS2Mouse. Now maybe if I put "Emulate3Buttons" in the PS2Mouse
section...
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "PS2Mouse"
Driver "mouse"
Option "CorePointer"
Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"
Option "Protocol" "PS/2"
Option "Buttons" "3"
EndSection
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Touchpad"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Device" "/dev/gpmdata"
Option "Protocol" "PS/2"
Option "Buttons" "3"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "true"
EndSection
The ServerLayout section contains:
InputDevice "Touchpad"
InputDevice "PS2Mouse"
