Starting 2nd mouse with gpm
Ok, I have a laptop with a ps2 mouse and a usb mouse plugged in. in XP I can use both at the same time, however under Slackware 9.1 I can't seem to accomplish this. I set xf86config to use the auto mouse option, but it still won't work. So I think it might be a gpm option... I could be wrong but if i were to have 2 mouses with gpm and x to auto it should work shouldn't it??
What would I type that into konsole/bash? |
put the following into your /etc/X11/xorg.conf (or xfree86.conf) as the case may be:
Code:
Section "InputDevice" Then at the end of the file add this line after the line for the usb mouse after the similar line for Mouse1 Code:
InputDevice "Mouse2" "SendCoreEvents" |
That didn't work. I've even tried setting up diffrent /dev/mouse and diffrent dev/input/mouse and so on, are there any other options that I could mess around with? Is there a way i could link my usb mouse to /dev/mouse? I'm using slackware 9.1 so it would be xfree86 also.

nevermind, it works now.. Would anybody know how to stop gpm from loading at startup?
|
Just type: chmod -x /etc/rc.d/rc.gpm
Remember that non executable files won't be loaded :) |
