An M/N:M-S35 Logitech three button PS/2 mouse is exactly what I have, and gpm always worked fine, in Sarge, Etch, Lenny and Sid. Following the directions at www.debian.org/doc/manuals/reference/ch-install.en.html#s-gpm I have this in /etc/gpm.conf : device=/dev/psaux responsiveness= repeat_type=none type=autops2 append='' sample_rate= And the gpm daemon should be running. The geek way to get it running is to study runlevels in the Debian Reference, then rename files in /etc/rc[1-5].d/ AFAIR, files named K20gpm should be renamed to S20gpm here, at least in /etc/rc2.d, runlevel 2 being the default runlevel in Debian. But a more convenient way is to start sysv-rc-conf as root and check at least runlevel 2 for gpm here. My gpm line in sysv-rc-conf looks like this: service 1 2 3 4 5 6 0 S ------------------------------------------------------------- .... gpm [ ] [X] [X] [X] [X] [ ] [ ] [ ] .... -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
