both ? i hope mean both messages as i haven't been split up afaik
for console mouse;
you can check if your gpm is running; do ps x|grep gpm
should spit out something like gpm -t imps2 -m / ( in mdk
that is) some distro's give ps/2 or ps2 or -m / d or
-m /dev/mouse
gpm -k kills the service
gpm -t imps2 -m /dev/mouse (or /dev/psaux) starts it
or use DrakConf to start gpm service at boot
some places to check out ; less /etc/init.d gpm (if the
service is installed) less /etc/sysconfig/mouse
mine says;
MOUSETYPE=imps2
XMOUSETYPE=IMPS/2
FULLNAME="PS/2|Generic PS2 Wheel Mouse"
XEMU3=no
WHEEL=yes
device=psaux
good luck
