I know there is another resolved post for this, but I am running the most current version of GPM according to portage, and it will freeze my machine after I close an x-session. I am unable to switch terminals, input information, move the mouse, or even toggle keys like numlock. I'm running gpm-1.20.0-5. I am sort of a newbie and not sure where to check logs, or even know if they would exist being that the machine just completely froze. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: For me its just start an x-session and close. Actual Results: Machine complete froze and became unresponcive. Expected Results: Continued to run gpm, and be able to input information.
Sorry, I forgot to mention that I was running Gnome as my desktop manager for X, and all other programs had been closed before I quit X.
I just tried to start it random after I booted, and it crashed my comp. Completly frozen.
can you do this for me cd /usr/portage/sys-libs/gpm/ emerge gpm-1.20.1.ebuild then restart gpm /etc/init.d/gpm restart and try it out for me, I would like to see if the newest gpm works for you. Let me know :-) Naz
Adam .. ??? is this still a problem?
Sorry, the problem is still there... Sorry, I guess I could provide more infomation. I am using a PS2 3 button, scrollwheel mouse, and the uncommented lines of my /etc/conf.d/gpm are 'MOUSE=ps2 MOUSEDEV=/dev/psaux' I have all APPEND lines commented. My mouse drivers are not compiled as modules, but built into the kernel.
Sorry for taking so long, I uninstalled it, b/c it kept crashing and forgot about this thread. I relized that my mouse is an IMPS/2, not PS/2. I made the correct changes in my conf file and now its fixed. Sorry about that :-[ *user problem* :-[ Maybe there should be some kind of protection against stupid people like me or something.
Ok well.. I will and comment to /etc/conf.d/gpm configuration script and call this bug fixed. Thanx for the feedback. Michael Nazaroff
