During installfest I had someone help me get gpm working.
We discovered that the correct arguements are:
gpm -m /devices/misc/psaux -t imps2
When typed in at the command line this works fine.
I decided from here that I would like this to be done on entry into
init level 3 and switched off at level 5.
I produced the following script:
#!/bin/sh
#Retrieve PID
PID=/var/run/gpm.pid
case $1 in
start) echo "$1ing gpm."
gpm -m /devices/misc/psaux -t imps2
;;
stop) echo "$1ing gpm."
killall -QUIT gpm; rm $PID
;;
*) echo "Usage: $0 {start|stop}"
;;
esac
Problem is that when this is run on startup I get errors and mouse does not
work correctly :(
gpm[99]: === ERROR ===: [/usr/src/gpm-1.20.0/src/mice.c(1740)]:
gpm[99]: imps2: PS/2 mouse failed to read id, assuming standard PS/2
Is there a problem with the script or something else??
