No, what youhave done there is make gpm act as a repeater. Basically it is GPM which controls your mouse in this instance, but sends the same control commands via /dev/gpmdata which X11 interprets as normal mouse movements. This option only works if you have gpm installed and running, of course. -- Thomas Adam ===== "The Linux Weekend Mechanic" -- http://linuxgazette.net "TAG Editor" -- http://linuxgazette.net "<shrug> We'll just save up your sins, Thomas, and punish you for all of them at once when you get better.
