Hello. > After asking on a couple different lists and getting no useful reply, it's a big problem, as the ps2 mouse is hanled by the keyboard controller, and problems happen oh so often. > I decided go out and buy a USB mouse and give that a try. A good choice. Unfortunately, let me add -- I hate forced upgrades. > GPM is still reading /dev/psaux and it's working. Can someone make > heads or tails of this? Is it normal or is my motherboard funky? Both. You know, the PC is a piece of crap, full of backward compatibility hacks since people can't recompile their software. So sometimes you see hardware emulation of a ps2 behaviour for non-ps2 stuff. I have a box where the usb keyboard looks like a standard (ps2) keyboard. /alessandro -- Alessandro Rubini, free software specialist. Device drivers, embedded systems, courses. http://ar.linux.it/
