I hope that this is not too much of a newbie question. I have a
Synaptics touch pad on an Acer Aspire One under Debian testing.
I have written an fdi file so that the X support is tuned and working well.
However, I do not seem to be able to manage the gpm support on text
terminals.
My /etc/gpm.conf is:
-------------------------------
device=/dev/input/mice
responsiveness=
repeat_type=none
type=exps2
#type=synps2 # fails?
append=''
sample_rate=
------------------------------
As noted in the comment, setting type=synps2 fails. Is this expected?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
lshal shows:
udi =

The input.x11-options are from my fdi and are not relevant for gpm, I
believe.

Presumably udev is responsible for
# ls -l /dev/input/m*
crw-rw---- 1 root root 13, 63 2010-01-21 11:02 /dev/input/mice
crw-rw---- 1 root root 13, 32 2010-01-21 11:02 /dev/input/mouse0
--------------------------------------------------------------------
I have
/etc/gpm-syn.conf
copied from the examples provided with gpm, but a far as I can tell,
this is ignored by gpm. There is no documentation to indicate how this
should be used. Sorry, but no, I have not looked at source thus far.
I *assume* that this file is read only when type=synps2? But as above,
that type fails.
I have, of course, searched for any information around this before
posting here, but found nothing helpful.
I would be most grateful for any help or pointers.
