Description Miguel Sousa Filipe 2002-12-26 13:23:21 UTC
Due to problems in my web browser I cannot paste the error message here, instead
i'll attach the error message in a file.. .

Also.. this error only happens the first time I try to load the mouse, if I kill
gpm and try to load it again.. it succeeds.
So I also attach my gpm-init script that I run to make the mouse work! :-p
this really is a strange bug I guess.

Informations about the system:
Tyan TigerMP motherboard (s2460)
Microsoft IntelliMouse 1.2A ps/2
bios version 1.4
.. I think these are hardware specs are the only ones of possible interest.

(older versions of gpm did have the same problem)

gpm init script run by /etc/conf.d/local.start

This is the lame script that I use to start my mouse! (to circunvent the
problem)

Is this still a issue with the newest patched version of gpm?
