GPM must start before X does. gpm.conf device=/dev/psaux responsiveness= repeat_type=raw type=PS/2 append="" sample_rate= XF86Config-4 Section "ServerLayout" Identifier "XFree86 Configured" Screen "Screen0" 0 0 InputDevice "Mouse0" "CorePointer" InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard" Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Mouse0" Driver "mouse" Option "Protocol" "PS/2" Option "Device" "/dev/gpmdata" Option "CorePointer Option "Emulate3Buttons" > -- > To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] > with a subject of "unsubscribe".
