Why am I successful when others aren't? Does it depend on > the type of mouse? -----------------------------REPLY----------------------------- There was recently released a new version of gpm into Debian 2,2r2. If you have since upgraded and since you use a ps2 mouse; the new version will NOT work. You will need to dl the sources for gpm and recompile it on your system in order for it to work. I had to do that also. This is a known bug. See mail archives from last month for more details. -- We specialize in multi-processor computing systems! John Foster AdVance-Computing Systems
