Re: PS/2 mouse setup; /dev/mouse?
Since it is a PS/2 mouse, the Pointer section in XF86Config should probably look something like this: Section "Pointer" Protocol"PS/2" Device "/dev/psaux" EndSection // Heikki -- Heikki Vatiainen * [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tampere University of Technology * Tampere, Finland -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

You might do rm /dev/mouse ln -s /dev/psax /dev/mouse to make a new /dev/mouse link that points to /dev/psaux, and then use /dev/mouse instead of /dev/psaux. That way if for some reason you ever need to use a serial mouse, you can just change the link rather than reconfiguring every piece of software that uses the mouse.

Re: PS/2 mouse setup; /dev/mouse?
I have GPM set up like so: /etc/gpm.conf: device=/dev/psaux responsiveness= type=ps2 append="-R" And X like so: /etc/X11/XF86Config: Section "Pointer" Protocol"MouseSystems" Device "/dev/gpmdata" So that X will read the mouse data that GPM leaves in a fifo /dev/gpmdata.

My system has a /dev/psmouse that is the same device as /dev/psaux as far as I can tell... I have a PS/2 port on the motherboard (it's an Intel TX chipset board) and I tried hooking my Logitech trackball to it but it managed to make the computer very upset -- the keyboard locked up! Also when I tried to start X without the mouse plugged in - but with it configured to use /dev/psmouse - it wouldn't start. Both times I had to log in over the ethernet and fix the problem by rebooting (keyboard lockup) or killing the X processes (mouse problem). Anyone get this to work? I'd like to be able to hook up a terminal to the serial port that i've been using for mouse. --Bill. -- William R Ward Bay View Consulting http://www.bayview.com/~hermit/ [EMAIL PROTECTED] 1803 Mission St. #339voicemail +1 408/479-4072 [EMAIL PROTECTED] Santa Cruz CA 95060 USA pager +1 408/458-8862 PGP Key 0x2BD331E5; Public key at http://www.bayview.com/~hermit/pubkey.txt -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

No /dev/psmouse, just psaux. Try gpm on /dev/psaux and w/ ps2 mouse protocol selected. Have you installed ps/2 support in kernel? Once you get it work, perhaps you might want to speed it up the trackball. With gpm i use a responsiveness of 30, and with X, xset m 6 3.

I have read somewhere that it's not adviseable the use of symlinks to devices such as modems or mouse ports, due locking conflicts.

It is due to a too confident algoritm in the FSSTND (and from there used by all :-). FYI Debian is trying to get rid of this problem by adopting a device locking library that is insensitive to symlinks, hardlinks and doubled devices, that will be used by all programs for 2.1 (some like "dip" even from now). Anyway the mouse programs (gpm and X) don't lock the device as they can share its use. Those arguments apply more to modem lines.
