Hi,
I posted correct /etc/gpm.conf to get it working in original thread.
repeat_type=raw
is the answer.

Yeah I guess the repeat_type vs. repeat_data thing might have
been part of it, aside from this all I meant is that my
/etc/init.d/gpm may have been an old one from say 1996 (who
remembers what that dbn was called??), and I may have answered
"no" to subsequent "overwrite old /etc/init.d/gpm?" prompt
Oops sorry for my bad memory,
As listed in the complete listing of /etc/gpm.conf in my previous posting:
Set in /etc/gpm.conf as:
repeat_type=raw
and set X to read /dev/gpmdata with ps2 protocol.
This is correct solution for gpm mouse.

Good for you.
But some of your comment was strange to me.
My story is based on potato stable (Installed when it was late
stage of unstable and continuously upgraded.) There was no need
for me to touch /etc/init.d/gpm. I see same file in my woody box.

Thank you! This works for me. Note that I also had to hack my
/etc/init.d/gpm to look at the repeat_data variable, though it
may be an old /etc/init.d/gpm. My gpm version is the latest

I agree that this is the sort of thing that really s
Yes, I wonder this too. I think current /etc/gpm.conf default is bad.
Here is background and solution.
gpm repeat data to /dev/gpmdata but in MS Mouse protocol in its
default setting. So if you set X mouse setting to read from
/dev/gpmdata with MS mouse protocol, it works. (Well not perfect,

I am having the same problem with the mouse pointer in X. I'll have to try this
when I get home sounds like a bug to me.

I've tried to tell X to use the fifo /dev/gpmdata as its
pointing device but it doesn't work. The mouse behaves fine
under gpm (even cut&paste works) but is unuseable under X. The
mouse cursor does move when I move the mouse, but in
completely erratic and unpredictable ways. The only way I've
got t
