Using GPM with X precisely implies using the repeater. Not as far as I know. Ever since I switched to USB mice years ago, I've just let both gpm and X look at the /dev/input/mice (or whatever other udev node i've manually generated), and both work just fine.

I'll have to dig into the bug report to get more info, no time right now though but I'll let you know. Ben.

Unfortunately, I do not have the disk space or CPU resources to do that. Perhaps the submitter does?

1. The correct way to use gpm with X server with /dev/input/mice in linux 2.6 is _not_ use gpm repeater, as kernel driver is perfectly capable to multiplex events itself. 2. This bug seems to be specific to ppc (endianness?) architecture, as I cannot reproduce it on x86 with any of the configs provided in the bug log. I can suggest rebuilding xorg with *DEBUG* options #define'd in xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/input/mouse/mouse.c and providing resulting debug logs (and logs from gpm with verbosity increased) to the bug log. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
