Can you try 'repeat_type=imps2'? Or at least 'repeat_type=ps2' (which won't allow using the wheel, but might work better otherwise)? > type=imps2 > append="" > sample_rate= > > Please note that gpm and X can manage together... but they need some type > of thing that will not make them use the same resource...So I guess that > different device can do the job just fine... As far as I know, this is not accurate. The problem isn't with sharing "resources" in the most general sense, but with sharing the PS/2 port. IIRC, with a serial mouse (and port) there is no problem. To overcome this problem, gpm invented the '-R' thing, which means only gpm reads the real mouse, and outputs (potentially after a conversion) to a fifo (/dev/gpmdata) emulated mouse IO that the X server reads. A few years ago I played with doing something similar, but without a special program - simply reading the mouse and writing to fifos, in various combinations. This was only a short game, I did not work with it hours or days, so I do not know if it was stable. But it worked. It allowed me, for example, to have two machines, with a mouse connected to each, and having a feeling of them being a "mirror" - a mouse move on each moved the cursor on both. Something like this: tee < /dev/realmouse /dev/m1fifo | rsh machine2 'cat > /dev/m2fifo' on both machines. -- Didi ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
