Hi,
I have successfully completed the LFS build and have added dhcpcd,
openssl, openssh, wget, and lynx successfully - now I am trying to get
GPM working. I have followed the BLFS book instructions, but I don't
seem to be able to get the mouse to work in the console.
Here are some of the things I have tried:
recompiling the kernel with psaux support
modifying /etc/sysconfig/mouse and rebooting after each edit
MDEVICE="/dev/psaux"
MDEVICE="/dev/mice"
MDEVICE="/dev/mouse0" # it was present in /dev so why not?
PROTOCOL="imps2"
PROTOCOL="ps2"
changing the VM settings from the default USB Pointing device to PS/2.
I admit to not truly understanding the interaction between the VM, the
host and the client, so if it's patently obvious what's wrong, please be
kind. I haven't been able to find much useful information about how to
test this. I am hoping to be able to copy/cut/paste from the command
line using the mouse without having to resort to using a mac terminal
and ssh. I don't have X or virtualbox extensions installed.
Has anyone been able to configure GPM to work in the lfs console in a
virtual box VM?
Do you have some troubleshooting tips?
Is there a test command I can use that will provide an error message of
some sort?
Thanks,
Will
