Without gpm there won't be anything to read from it:)
I'm getting really confused here. With the most recent setup I posted I get no mouse in either console or X. You say that is right since gpm isn't running. But in my original setup (posted againg below), X mouse does work but there is no gpm running there either. Sorry to be so dense here, but I think I'm still missing some fundemental aspect of this. Settings that do work in X only: First we establish that gpm is not running: root # /etc/init.d/gpm force-reload Stopping mouse interface server: gpm. Starting mouse interface server: gpm. root # ps waux|grep gpm <nothing> Gpm isn't running /etc/gpm.conf device=/dev/psaux responsiveness= repeat_type=ms3 type=ps2 append="" sample_rate= /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 [...] 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 [...] Section "ServerLayout" Identifier "Default Layout" Screen "Default Screen" InputDevice "Generic Keyboard" InputDevice "Configured Mouse" InputDevice "Generic Mouse" EndSection [...] Mouse works in X with above settings.
