I did this, intentionally, for a while. The problem is that the laptop's touchpad is only PS/2. Thus gpm can only use PS/2 on /dev/psaux. So I put the external scroll mouse in the USB port. Then I wanted both the mouse, if present, and the touchpad to work in both the console and X. I also wanted the scrolling to work in X. Thus I had gpm reading both mice, and repeating them. X read the repeater to get the touchpad, but also went directly to the USB mouse as IMPS/2 to get scrolling. The result was that the external mouse was doubly sensistive in X since X got one event from each of /dev/gpmdata and /dev/input/mice for each actual event on the mouse. A little funky, but makes sense if you approach it one level/aspect at a time. | I think you can also access indevidual mice in /dev/input/mouse<n> Yes, at least for USB mice in 2.4. -D -- One OS to rule them all, one OS to find them, One OS to bring them all and in the darkness bind them, In the Land of Redmond, where the Shadows lie. www: http://dman13.dyndns.org/~dman/ jabber: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
