Hi,
I am going over ML for the next "Debian Reference" over the mouse
configuration.
I found a thread with your names quite interesting. In order to refresh
all, I put all participants in TO list. Excuse me.
I have 3 questions:
1. imps2 issue
Is "imps2" really needed for woody gpm? Woody gpm default seems to
have moved to "autops2". I thought autops2 will take care both.
FYI:"gpm -t help|less" command in woody/sarge should provide.
autops2 - For PS/2 type mouse, specific protocol will be auto detected
ms3 - For the Microsoft IntelliMouse (serial), 3 buttons
(wheel is repeated).
imps2 - For the Microsoft IntelliMouse on a PS/2 port
(round connector with 6 pins), 3 buttons (wheel is repeated).
exps2 (ExplorerPS/2) - IntelliMouse Explorer (ps2) - 3 buttons
(wheel is repeated).
2. What do you think of Debian Reference description?
http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/reference/
Chapter 3.3 Mouse configuration
3. Was timothy bauscher"s problem typo?
Was following message a typo problem?
