More info. I have tried cahnging the type to imps2. Seperately I
changed the
device to /dev/mouse. Non of ths change anything :-(
If I do a killall on gpm, and run it from the command line, about 2/3
of on
line, and all of the next line on my console get highlighted. However,
I get no
mouse pointer and pressing the keys does nothig.
I tried running gpm -D -V9, and I don't get any messages whatsover,
shouldn't
Iget something?
I have tried 2 differnt mice, one 3 button, one 2 buttton both HP PS/2
mice.
Both mice wokr fine with teh HP Vextra siting next to the Debian box.
It's
runing FreeBSD.
This is getting frustrating, I need to move on to fighting the X
battle, but
there is no use trying to even atempt that wihtou a working mouse!
Anyone got some troubleshooting tips?
