waiting for X server to shut down
Fatal server error:
Unable to set status of mouse fd (Interrupted system call)
If I just kill gpm, I can start x normally, and even switch to the
console and back again to x (that was my original problem). Anyone
with the same problem/suggestions/hints/prayers to keep gpm and x
running at the same time? I'd appreciate your help.
i have gpm configured as follows:
device=/dev/mouse
responsiveness=15
repeat_type=
type=ps2
append="-3 -a 3 -d 5 -l \"a-zA-Z0-9_.:~/\300-\326\330-\366\370-\377\""
and i have X set to use /dev/mouse as well, i have no problems
running both at the same time, i have even tried to cause a problem
by moving the mouse all over the place while switching back and forth
between the console and X, after a few months never had a problem..
the -a and -d just control the acceleration in the console the -3
tells it i have a 3 button mouse, -l is from debian defaults...
i think your problem was leaving -R on.. the repeater method with X
i tried but it makes the mouse work like in windoze, i simply can't
stand that, but fortunately there seems to be no need for the
repeater thing.
