Ugh, I'm switching from my Logitech 3 button "dying mouse" to my new logitech optical wheel mouse.
It goes like this: - If I boot up with my 3 button mouse and then unplug it, and plug in my optical mouse, things are sort of happy. - If I boot up with the optical mouse, gpm doesn't like it, and it "doesn't move" in X. I've been fiddling and googling for a while now, exploring both GUI tools, and also command-line config file tweaking. ( Currently, things are set back to "stock", and the Generic PS/2 Wheel mouse is selected via "Control Center" ) The details: The optical mouse is a USB mouse HOWEVER it has a PS/2 adapter and THAT is what I am connecting it with, PS/2 NOT USB. LM9 Potential Complication: Belkin KVM switch - distance/signal strength issue ? Clarification: I've heard mention of a utility "imwheel" that does not appear to be installed, and it evidently "replaces" gpm. Is that necessary ? I am more than happy to capture any esoteric knowledge for posterity if I can get a couple pointers. Like, what are the bullet points of the procedure, and I can fill in the gory details on my own. ?
