If you have a PS/2 mouse, this line is wrong and will be causing problems. The correct device is /dev/psaux. You have gpm looking at your first serial port for a mouse, which it won't find. -- Oliver Elphick [EMAIL PROTECTED] Isle of Wight http://lfix.co.uk/oliver Make it idiot-proof, and someone will breed a better idiot. -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
