Stan Brown: | Is it possible to run moused and als X ? I can;t start X when I have | mousedd running, because X dies saying the nouse is busy. | | PS/2 mouse if it matters. gpm for Debian can output to a specific | device to allow for just this purpose. Don't know about the PS/2 mouse specifically, but seems like (I'm not within reaching distance of my FreeBSD box now) you need to point moused to your "real" mouse device (ttyd[0-3]), and then point your XF86Config at /dev/sysmouse. Something like that. You might search the archives for sysmouse to double check that though. Randall Hopper
