Package: gpm Version: 1.19.6-21 Severity: important
Something seems to have gone wrong with /dev/gpmdata in 2.6.13 (upgrade from 2.4). GPM is using /dev/psaux and the mouse is a regular PS/2 with ms3 repeat configured. If I am at a Linux console and cat /dev/gpmdata, no data appears when the mouse is moved, though the cursor on screen does move. Under X, I have the same. However, if in an xterm, I restart gpm, then the data appears on /dev/gpmdata for that moment. Unfortunately, as soon as one switches to another VT and back to X, the mouse data is no longer appearing there. Restarting GPM has no effect at the console for some reason. Maybe something has changed with the mechanism GPM is using to determine if mouse data should be delivered to the current application (i.e. if it is on the current VT). I don't know what's going on to be honest. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i586) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.13 Locale: LANG=en_US, LC_CTYPE=en_US (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Versions of packages gpm depends on: ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.4.57 Debian configuration management sy ii debianutils 2.14.1 Miscellaneous utilities specific t ii libc6 2.3.5-6 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii ucf 2.001 Update Configuration File: preserv gpm recommends no packages. -- debconf-show failed -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
