Hi Gang!
I've been noticing some errors in my log files concerning gpm
,----[ from /var/log/messages ]
| Jan 29 11:31:44 slackware gpm[337]: No data

This has only been happening since I installed Slackware 7 (a clean
install, not an upgrade).
I'm using a Microsoft 2 button serial mouse (about the only thing with
Microsoft's name on it that is any good). And I'm loading gpm from
rc.local with...
gpm -m /dev/mouse -t ms
I've also tried...
gpm -m /dev/mouse -t bare
But I still get the same error messages.
Anybody got any ideas?
