Just a dummy check: If you use the new input layer, did you create the new
input devices as indicated in ben's page?
http://ppclinux.apple.com/~benh/
-- cut 8< ---
su -
cd /dev
rm usbmouse
rm mouse
mkdir input
mknod input/mice c 13 63
ln -s input/mice mouse
ln -s input/mice usbmouse

I am just asking because I am using a powerbook, and from what I understand,
the "glidepad" is a "adb mouse" (gpm was using /dev/adbmouse atleast and was
working before the new input stuff)
This works just fine in Xpmac:
# lsof /dev/mouse
COMMAND PID USER FD TYPE DEVICE SIZE NODE NAME
gpm 181 root 0u CHR 13,63 19747 /dev/input/mice
Xpmac.rev 257 root 0r CHR 13,63 19747 /dev/input/mice
It follows the symlink and uses the /dev/input/mice -device. So check that
you created the device and symlinked it to /dev/mouse, otherwise it wont
work.
Also make gpm use the new device.
Hope this helps
Tuomas
