Hello, The config file for gpm doesn't let you set other options that just MOUSE and MOUSEDEV. As more and more people use some other, advanced options (f.e. they set a /dev/gpmdata repeater to use it with X), I propose to modify 2 files: ****************************** /etc/init.d/gpm : #!/sbin/runscript #NB: Config options moved to /etc/conf.d/gpm depend() { need localmount } checkconfig() { if [ -z "$MOUSEDEV" ] || [ -z "$MOUSE" ] ; then eerror "You need to setup at least MOUSEDEV and MOUSE in /etc/conf.d/gpm first" return 1 fi } start() { checkconfig || return 1 #cheerfully stolen from debian :+) if [ -n "$MOUSEDEV" ]; then parameters=" -m $MOUSEDEV"; fi if [ -n "$MOUSE" ]; then parameters="$parameters -t $MOUSE"; fi if [ -n "$RESPONSIVENESS" ]; then parameters="$parameters -r $RESPONSIVENESS"; fi if [ -n "$REPEAT_TYPE" ]; then parameters="$parameters -R$REPEAT_TYPE"; fi if [ -n "$APPEND" ]; then parameters="$parameters $APPEND "; fi # There is no space after -R! ebegin "Starting gpm" start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --exec /usr/sbin/gpm \ -- $parameters eend ${?} } stop() { ebegin "Stopping gpm" start-stop-daemon --stop --quiet --pidfile /var/run/gpm.pid eend ${?} } ****************************** and thus /etc/conf.d/gpm could be: ****************************** # Config file for /etc/init.d/gpm # The type of mouse you have and the device it is connected to MOUSEDEV=/dev/misc/psaux RESPONSIVENESS= REPEAT_TYPE=raw MOUSE=imps2 APPEND="-g 1 -A 60" ******************************
Updated on CVS. Just remerge gpm and update the stuff in /etc.
