I'm able to use my usb mouse with gpm, /etc/gpm.conf contains:
device=/dev/input/mouse0
responsiveness=10
repeat_type=raw
type=autops2
append=""
sample_rate=
however XFree86 can not use it
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "USB Mouse"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "auto"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
#Option "Device" "/dev/input/mouse0"
Option "Device" "/dev/gpmdata"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "true"
Option "Emulate3Timeout" "70"
Option "SendCoreEvents" "true"
EndSection
With Protocol "auto" X will start but the mouse does not move; I can see
data if I cat /dev/gpmdata while moving mouse in X.
So I think the answer is proper setting of repeat_type in gpm and/or the
mouse protocol in XF86Config-4. But I can't find the right combo, anything
but auto fails with "No core pointer"; what protocols are available?
It is a Compaq (RadioShack) usb wheel mouse.
I'm running a cvs XFree86, to support my video card.
XFree86 Version 4.3.99.15
Release Date: 1 November 2003
Today's cvs won't build, haven't looked into why...
Any help appreciated!
