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 this default string to make things work? 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. It works OK in WARP & (ugh!)Win95. 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. Since I am newbie, please t a l k L u n i x s l o w l y ! Thanks in advance... ..Allen
