Here's what I have:
andre@mir:~$ ls -l /dev/gpmctl=20
srwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 11. Okt 17:43 /dev/gpmctl
andre@mir:~$ ls -l /dev/gpmdata=20
prw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 16. Okt 08:45 /dev/gpmdata
andre@mir:~$ ls -l /dev/psaux =20
crw------- 1 root root 10, 1 11. Okt 17:43 /dev/psaux
andre@mir:~$ cat /etc/gpm.conf | grep -v "#"=20
device=3D/dev/psaux
responsiveness=3D
repeat_type=3Draw
type=3Dimps2=20
append=3D" -A180 -2 "=20
sample_rate=3D
and in /etc/X11/XF86Config:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Configured Mouse"
Driver "mouse"
Option "CorePointer"
Option "Device" "/dev/gpmdata"
Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2"=20
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "true"=20
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"=20
EndSection
However I sometimes have to restart gpm twice when X is running,
don't know why.
