Running woody (testing)
I've been ignoring this issue and working on other things but I really
miss having my little rodent in text mode.
Its a logitec 3 button ps2, critter that works in X just fine.
I can't remember how to tell with no doubt where the mouse is
connected. At which device. I remember saying /dev/psaux during install
but that was just a guess.
Boot messages indicate gpm services are being started. But I have no
functioning mouse in text mode.
A grep of ps waux shows"
ps waux|grep 'gpm' turns up nothing
The devices directory itself shows
ls -l /dev/ |grep 'mouse\|psaux\|gpm'
prw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Mar 1 15:26 gpmdata
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 7 Feb 28 21:41 mouse -> gpmdata

>From posts here, I got the idea that the XF86Config mouse section is
related to text mode mouse settings in some way. That section of mine
looks like this:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Configured Mouse"
Driver "mouse"
Option "CorePointer"
Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"
Option "Protocol" "PS/2"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "true"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Generic Mouse"
Driver "mouse"
Option "SendCoreEvents" "true"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
Option "Protocol" "ImPS/2"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "true"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection
How can I tell beyond doubt which device the mouse is on. And get this
thing configured and working.
