Before all: This is not a support question.
I have been using the gpm and the X (with mouse of course) since 1996. I
use the simplest way to do this: I have created a link to the mouse
device and I use it from gpm and X, too. This is simple and it works.
Some people ask me from time to time, how they can use the mouse with
gpm and X at same time. They wrote, they tried to use the gpmdata as
mouse device with X, but it did not work well.
I have read the manual of gpm but it does not mention that one can use
the simple method which I described above. Could you please
put the next sentence to the "-R" part of the manual or to the
FAQ at your earliest convenience:
"Note: Most of the cases you need not use the repeater. Just create a
link to the mouse device and use it from gpm and X, too. Normally
it should work."
thanks, and bye
atya
a pleased user :)
