Formerly I also used the -M option for gpm, but the third mouse button/wheel was not recognized (i.e. inactive) or the third button emulation was not working on the touchpad (only 2 buttons there) depending of the options I choose. I worked around that by configuring gpm to use the touchpad only (I can cope without the mouse on the console...) and the "pointer" section of X to /dev/gpmdata. I then added the USB mouse (/dev/input/mice) to the "XInput" section, "Mouse" sub-section. It works great! Francois. = Francois BOTTIN -- "How kind," the PFY sighs. "But where will I go?"

Am I right? In fact, the solution I described was based on my experience, that is XFree 3.3.6. In this case, it is possible to use different protocols for the different input devices. On my laptop, gpm reads /dev/psaux using the PS/2 protocol (-t ps2) and repeats it using the MS-3buttons (-Rms3) to /dev/gpmdata. XFree then reads /dev/gpmdata using the ms3 protocol (as configured in the "Pointer" section). At the same time, XFree reads /dev/input/mice using the Imwheel-PS/2 protocol (IMPS2, as configured in the "XInput" section, "Mouse" sub-section). This mix of protocols is the real reason why I use my external mouse as an USB device (there is an USB->PS/2 adapter with the mouse). The same solution is not directly usable with XFree 4, but I saw a few weeks ago on `debian-french' that the solution exists. The subject was about using 2 keyboards, but an example (for XF 3.3 and XF 4) was given for 2 mice : http://lists.debian.org/debian-french-0103/msg01232.html This would be much easier to use than switching from one config file to another!
