I've been having trouble with gpm not working after an upgrade (a while ago. the latest update (woody) still doesn't work).
When I run "cat /dev/psaux" and move the mouse, garbage comes out as expected. I have found that this command gets gpm working: # strace gpm -D -m /dev/psaux -tps2 When I move the mouse, strace spits out more data, as expected. Amazingly, these commands fail: # gpm -D -m /dev/psaux -tps2 # strace gpm -D -m /dev/psaux -tps2 &> /dev/null # gpm -m /dev/psaux -tps2 # strace gpm -m /dev/psaux -tps2 Note that -D causes gpm to not exit as a daemon. By "fail" I mean I get no error messages and no mouse on the screen. What on earth is going on here??
