Hi, Dave, I started gpm, but no luck with the log messages going away. I restarted brltty to see if that made a difference, and no dice there, either. Still getting the log messages every five seconds or so in /var/log/messages. The Windo follows pointer option was already switched off in my brlt

Hi, Dave, GPM isn't writing anything to syslog when I start it (/etc/init.d/gpm start... and now added to my default runlevel for automatic start-up at boot). But I do see it in the process table, so it is, in fact, running, or at least faking it very nicely. ;) I'm running brltty 3.8, so I shoul
