I've never seen the advantages of using /dev/gpmdata as I have never had any problems getting my mouse to work correctly in X11. YMMV though. I think not using the gpmdata method makes it simpler anyhow. About the mouse responsiveness: you've obviously not read the xset manpage very thoroughly yet as it explainss it all (I think.) > When i try to remedy the situation by starting a login bash that will run > my regular profile scripts, i cannot login as root: Invalid (or incorrect) > login.

I don't think so, but maybe you fiddled with /etc/securetty or /etc/login.defs? What command do you use to become root, su or login? I'm not sure if you got this right: - if you start bash as a login shell, it will read ~/.bash_profile - if you start bash as a (sub)shell, it will read ~/.bashrc Cheers, Joost PS: If you want to make changes to the /etc/rc.? setup, have a look at the update-rc.d manpage which documents the Debian interface for this. If you use update-rc.d, packages will respect your changes when they get upgraded (otherwise, they might reinstall links that you removed.) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
