All, I am trying to get my trackball to operate with <gpm 1.14> in v2.1. This device is on /dev/ps2aux and no matter what protocol I try, I get erratic mouse movements and no button events. This is confirmed from <mev>.
Can I change something in <gpm.conf>? Can anyone tell me what the 'inword() LUT' string in the config file means? I wonder if I could change something in this string to make things work better. This trackball reports 'PS/2 Port PDP Ballpoint Protocol' from the help in Win95. The help from DOS suggest installing as 'Expert, Thinking, Kensington, IBM or MS' mouse but the various MS protocols are n/g. Any help with this would be appreciated. This trackball is a superb device and I don't want to give it up!!! I am just getting my feet wet in Linux but what I see so far I like. I am comfortable with the command line on DOS, OS/2 Warp, don't like Win95 even tho its on this machine. I did some beta with DR/DOS & Concurrent PC DOS (boy, that dates me!) and very little C programming long ago (Turbo C, v3.1 & Borland C++ ). I've got Red Hat 5.2 & Debian 2.1 both on this machine using Boot Magic & Partition Magic each in a 1 meg partition for a small evaluation. Thanks in advance... ..Allen
