RE: [Cooker] X dies - related to gpm?
Hi, Since about a week or so, it has happened several times that X just dies while I'm working on my pc. I'm using XFree86-4.2.0-12mdk. I am using a Matrox Millenium G400 board. This is what I found in /var/log/messages: Jun 9 21:17:23 Jupiter gpm[1387]: info: [/home/gb/rpm-rebuilder/rpm/BUILD/gpm-1.20.0/src/mice.c(1751)]: Jun 9 21:17:23 Jupiter gpm[1387]: imps2: Auto-detected intellimouse PS/2 Jun 9 21:17:22 Jupiter kdm[1692]: Server for display :0 terminated unexpectedly I have removed gpm, probably this this will solve the problem. I had (for the past year or so :-) slightly different problem of mouse not working (properly) in text console after returning from X. About two weeks ago to my excitement I found that X seems to work correctly with FIFO as mouse device. I reconfigured gpm to run in repeater mode and X to use /dev/gpmdata as mouse device and since then I had _zero_ problems with mouse either in X or on console. Fred, I have small patch for init.d/gpm to allow easy configuration as repeater. Do you accept it? I would even go as far as to suggest this should be default ... what other people think? -andrej
