I'm obviously being unusually thick here. man gpm tells me nothing about configuration. I read all the references you gave, but still have no idea how to configure gpm. I have an empty file /etc/gpm.conf and a file called /etc/gpm-root.conf which I cannot understand, and which has no mention of protocol or device. So I am still unclear how to configure it. Mouse works fine in X -- it is only in console that it doesn't. I do see your point about the change I'll need to make in X if I have gpm configured - thanks for that pointer. And we are in the wrong thread for this... -- richard -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
