Hello! I see the following messages for several last versions of gpm: Jan 4 10:57:17 oleg gpm[349]: No data Jan 4 11:00:50 oleg last message repeated 4 times Jan 4 11:01:57 oleg last message repeated 3 times Jan 4 11:02:59 oleg last message repeated 3 times Jan 4 11:04:24 oleg last message repeated 5 times Jan 4 11:05:29 oleg last message repeated 5 times Jan 4 11:07:00 oleg last message repeated 5 times Jan 4 11:08:29 oleg last message repeated 3 times Jan 4 11:09:33 oleg last message repeated 5 times Jan 4 11:10:42 oleg last message repeated 5 times Jan 4 11:11:51 oleg last message repeated 3 times Jan 4 11:14:25 oleg last message repeated 3 times Jan 4 11:20:02 oleg gpm[349]: No data Jan 4 11:28:36 oleg gpm[349]: No data Jan 4 11:29:26 oleg gpm[349]: Error in protocol Jan 4 11:29:30 oleg last message repeated 54 times Sometimes after another "error in protocol" gpm simply dies (so I restart it and go on). A funny thing is, the "no data" messages seem to appear even when I do not touch the mouse at all. Could anyone please say what it is trying to tell me? The gpm is gpm-1.17.9-3, running under linux-2.2.13, the /etc/sysconfig/mouse contains MOUSETYPE="MouseSystems" XEMU3=no Unfortunately, I cannot say much about the mouse (did not keep the box); it is a more or less normal serial mouse (with a 2/3 buttons switch - took some effort to find such :( ).
